Show your Epiphones

[Mark]

Since this thread was started I realized I hadn't added my other new guitars (brand new at the time actually).

Wish I had better pics, but...

I got a second Genesis in Vintage finish;

Then the wife got me a Lee Malia. I have to use the Sweetwater pic. We have a yellow ceiling light and the pics came out really bad;

See what I mean?

That is one fine looking Les Paul you've got there Mark!

Thanks Paruwi! Happy to be here!
And since I am here I might as well contribute.
This is my Epiphone Les Paul 1960 Tribute Plus
I had to sell her after hitting a rough patch. Luckily for me, a friend of mine bought her and said that he would sell it back to me if I ever wanted it back. Well, that day is coming soon. I'm hoping that with either my income tax return or my work bonus next month, I will be able to buy her back. Anyway without further a due.

T+ Is a great guitar, yours is a beauty! I have no doubt that mine will be in the exact shape that I sold her in, my buddy takes great care of his gear.

My first post here. I got this trad pro II recently and I really like it. I will change a couple things eventually, but for now it's a player.

One of my favorite Epi LPs, very fat sounding. I prefer the old Alnico Plus pickups to the newer Probuckers. Fat neck, right? Also plain tops are my favorite. Very cool.

I know I just posted all those pics of my new '89, but here's a new one for the "Show Your Epiphones" archive.

Hi everybody! I just joined and figured this would be a good place for my first post. Here are my two Epiphones. An ES-175 and a Special 1 P90. Is it allowed to post pictures of "formally owned" Epiphones? I have some old pictures of a couple of rare birds.

Thanks! Well, with your permission....

I do not have pictures of the USA, pre Gibson, Epiphone Zenith that belonged to my dad. But that Epi was my first guitar, and Epiphone, experience.

In college, around 1972, I bought an Epiphone Coronet from Sol Betnum Music for $200. I played it in Jazz Band in college and it is the best guitar I've ever owned. I should never have sold it to buy a Norlin Les Paul Deluxe. Here is serial number 30603. If anyone ever sees her, let me know! I need to know that she is alive and well! It had a glorious wide neck that had a lovely oval profile. This is the only pic I have of it.

Lastly, is one of my son's guitars. I do not know the model. But it is a Les Paul Jr DC body with a single bridge pickup. It is a set neck, made in USA and I should never have let him sell it, somewhere in the 1990's. Anyone know what model Epiphone this is? Sorry for the crappy pictures. They are scans of photographs. I was able to enhance the Epiphone name a little.

It looks like a Spirit.

Bingo

Good catch, BGood! Thanks!

Wow, a lot of nice guitars in this thread!

The thing I noticed about the Epi LP Special I is that the body has a lot of open space without the tailpiece. It always looks to me like it needs something. Plus, they have a very punk-feel to them, so I thought, why not add an Anarchy symbol? I'm not making a political statement, just an art thing, I guess.

The guitar has the stock electronics. It has Dunlop StrapLoks, a TUSQ-XL nut, GFS locking tuners, and a Wilkinson Aluminum Adjustable Intonated Wrapround Bridge. The speed knobs were replaced with red skull knobs off of eBay. The strap is a GFS Earl Slick leather strap.

I followed Roman's setup instructions over on MLP for setting up the neck and dressing the frets. I also drilled out the white fret markers and replace them with red markers from Allparts.com. I did the Anarchy symbols with a red enamel paint pen, then sanded it and buffed it with polish.

That's a great idea! I thought the same thing about my black Epi Special. My daughter is an artist. I was thinking of giving her a silver colored Sharpie and letting her have at it.

BTW - Good looking guitar.
