    Riviera P93 - need advice

    Try working the pole pieces? Sometimes the "dark" can be mitigated by getting the pole pieces in the "correct" position. Raising the poles, sometimes, add more brightness.

    IDing a Cherry Dot.

    Epiphone moved its manufacturing from Korea to Qingdao in China in 2003. Seems like you got the info correct. Looks like a nice guitar. How's she feel/play? Here is the head from my '98 'The Dot' and a pic of the body/pickguard. Doesn't seem like much has changed from 1998 to 2015 other than...

    what cables do you use?

    Have D'Addario/Planet Waves and Lava cables. The D'Addario's claim a capacitance of 28pF/ft on their American Stage cables. I read in several places that the one stat one to look at is the capacitance of the cable in relation to the length and wire size is as important. How much it matters is...

    Any body here , ever take those Ancestry . Com DNA test ?

    My brother used the one Nat Geo uses and it seems to change over time as the database gets bigger. We knew about Germany, France and Britain but Greece was a surprise. Probably long lost relatives and most likely Gypsies knowing my family. :naughty:

    New Epiphone, Power Player

    Weighing In

    It appears that wood density has more to do with the weight than a model or manufacturer. I have a '98 MIK Dot that weighs just shy of 8 pounds. As does the Epi 2020 ES-335 'inspired by' semi-hollow. 2020 LP Modern 'inspired by...' is almost 8.5 pounds. Hmm. 2 semi-hollows and a "solid body"...

    1993 Epiphone Deluxe or Modern Dot?

    Sounds like some good advice above. I can only add my limited experience. I bought a MIK Samick plant 1998 Epi Dot, "used/mint" this year. And it is as described; except for one issue. There were 4 dead frets in the upper neck, E & B strings but that was not a manufacturing issue. Now, I say...

    I looked at cases for the Starcaster for 3-4 weeks and nothing seemed to come close...and ended up buying an Epiphone case. I have two cases and did a dry fit. The CV Starcaster moves a bit but with the nice supple guitar strap wrapped along the side and above the body it is fairly secure...
