Alas, I had to say "Get thee behind me, Guitar Center". Got too much on my plate at the moment. If they would throw in a case or one of those sweet brown soft sided cases, it would be here and I'd probably get it in ebony.
I'm going to check my JJN for the post and the pickup pole pieces. Glad I found this thread. We had company a few weeks ago and I had to move my guitars out of the living room to the basement. I've been busy so they're still down there.
dang. Just when I thought it was safe to relax, GC goes and has a 24-month financing deal on the Inspired by Gibson ES-335. For 549 dollars. Case extra.
Must. Resist. Uhn.
thanks a lot, GC. I really didn't need to see that.
thanks, he's doing way better today. Man, that second Moderna shot kicked his ass. I had the Pfizer and other than being dead tired for about 36 hours both times, was fine.
Got to try the Gold Glory through an amp today. First time I played through my amp in 15 months. Man, I gotta learn to...
my poor brother was puking for 8 hours before he let me drive him to the ER for an intravenous drip to replenish his dehydration. He's much better today :D
this one showed up while we were arses and elbows deep in moving boxes, got quickly checked out and stashed away. Finally got around to taking pics today, 2 weeks after it showed up. Really, that long ago? Seems like 5 minutes. Anyway.

I put in a pre-order a while ago. Word was they weren't going to be available until later in the summer. Then my brother and I found a house, closed on it and moved this past week. I was standing at the Comcast store setting up our internet service when my phone rang. My guitar was in, did I...
I just found out last night that Hipshot makes their buttons interchangeable and available for sale separately. For 15 dollars, just for grins and giggles I could put black buttons on.
Hipshot's website was nicely documented with drawings of their products specs. However, if the 10.5mm center post to screw hole of the Grovers was too small to reach the existing hole of the Kolb logo Epiphone tuner's screw hole, then neither of the Hipshot designs would work. The offset screw...
I have an Epiphone Joe Bonamassa '58 Black Beauty Les Paul Custom that I grabbed last year as soon as I heard they were out. Three pickups, ebony board, with a case? Oh, yeah, baby.
My main gripe with the guitar are the Epiphone Kolb logo style tuners they came with. I know they were trying...
all my new guitars have been turning my fingers black, maple, rosewood, ebony, indian laurel. I've taken to polishing the frets, cleaning the fingeboards, oiling the rosewood, ebony and indian laurel. The new strings are almost invariably crapola. Which makes the new bass a little more...
I want to wire mine like the real '59 I played a couple years ago. Granted it won't have three double white PAFs but I can still get the same wiring. I believe it had the standard B B+N N arrangement of the selector switch and the middle pickup was always on. it had its own volume control so...
I, too, need to update on a previous post. I pulled my ad for my 2 pickup LPC after I emptied my closet and restacked my guitars making everything fit.
I have a 2019 s/n ebony Les Paul Custom that I bought new in June 2020, it's a great Les Paul style guitar. I'm on the fence about selling it since I bought yet another Epiphone LPC (Joe Bonamassa BB) and now I don't have room.
Yet I'm casting a covetous eye on the Epiphone SG Custom in ebony...
I tell you, if Epiphone does as good a job on the Frampton as they did on the JB and for the same price point, I'd be there with bells on. I haven't totally excluded the possibility of converting mine. If I did, I'd go all in and remove the original wiring harness intact, rewire it like...
I bought an 2020 ebony Les Paul Custom with an ebony fingerboard in June. Thoroughly impressed by it all around. Then last week Epiphone puts out the Joe B 1958 triple pickup Black Beauty with an ebony board and a hardshell case. I wasn't going to buy anymore guitars because I lack space to...

big black beauty fan here, played a real one that made me weak in the knees (three double white PAF !!).
I got the two pickup custom a couple months ago because it had the ebony fingerboard. Now this comes along. I applied for the financing this morning ... and got approved. It's still in my...
