I like my modded epis and harley benton.. and my firefly, too. worth every cent.IMG_1280 by TWANG posted Mar 9, 2019 at 12:32 PM IMG_1263 by TWANG posted Mar 9, 2019 at 12:32 PM
I've been saying 91... which is when I bought it--!!!!
shit! I'm a time traveller. a victim of Epiphone trickery. or merely mistaken.
Maybe I got the 91 from the serial number and confused it with the date of manu?
I'll assume you checked the epi ser. no. site. I've lost track of that...
I have two epis. Love em both. but I tried a firefly because it was 160$ shipped.
and then I added some stuff.. and tried a fine tune tailpiece and locking tuners..
very nice!
I don't get a lot of BB with the single coils, but it's pretty nice overall!
I have a 1991 sheraton II, Korean, Samick.
SNo. S4114391.
Rather heavily modified.
I'll speak to the rewiring. On mine, I have swapped pickups several times. And changed the pots etc. as well.
It's a BITCholycow what a drag,
Do not trust anyone who says it's easy or not that bad.
You have to do...
Some time ago.. long time... years? ...
I was sent an amplifier to modify.
Then I had a shitload of health problems,
(all since resolved, thank you)
and I cannot find the address of who sent the amp!
Is it you?
Just tell me what amp it is and we'll get this resolved.
I am building a new amp in...
Grover USA exists so far as I know. One way to tell is the GROVER logo on each tuner. Less expensive (chinese) it's blurry and indistinct. On USA grovers the log is quite distinct in the lettering.
So your 30 or 40 years is definitely off by 30 40 years.
I put locking tuners on my guitars.. chinese stuff from wish. Grovers are usa, and chinese, and the chinese ones I'm using work perfectly No problems. I'd recommend them on snappy quick string changes alone, but they tune well and hold tune so what's not to like?
Pretty modest efx features by todays standards. But.. works perfectly.. tons of the tones I seek.
pretty good on delay modulation et all, too.
Play it almost every day.

You know.. it's so silly.. but I looked all over and could not seem to get any info that matched
the amp I have.
Finally I stopped being a boob.
I got two nice schematics from ampgarage and went for the simplest .. just a 1Meg audio tape
which I put where the old socket for power was.
I have...

I had that neck for years.. have a few in fact...
I have a 91 Sheraton. I have changed it considerably over the years. Pickups, controls, bigsby and more. BUT make no mistake. the actual guitar plays like brand new. pretty much looks new, too. damn it's built! (Korean) I have ten guitars. I build (assemble, I don't manu parts myself) many, and...
I have the answer.. the one you're all looking for. IMG_1280 by TWANG posted Mar 9, 2019 at 12:32 PM check out my rivieraton. (PS the lp now has the chrome bigsby. not real bigsby. both are chinese.)
Blondy has a toggle the whammy bar just hides it a bit.
I did remove two pots though. it has one vol one tone.
Ok here we go.
Imperial Tuner buttons added to the stock tuners.
bone nut.
Kent Armstrong humbuck size single coils.
(I've had four sets of pups on this before I finally found my...
oops. don't know how I duplicated those pics. just saying.. possibly again? I love these chinese bigsby copies.. I had the black bigsby b700 now I have the chrome clone.. they both work perfectly. I have a little pinch at the nut for the B string on the sheraton, otherwise they both tune great...
