My latest Epi find. Really want a Wilshire.

New to me 2016 Casino Coupe Natural
My first electric and is in fantastic condition and plays great.

This is my late 2019 Inspired by Gibson Transfade. I love it. It has a solid maple top (with weight relief on the side fins)
Ebony fretboard and Grover lock tight tuners.
MOP trapezoid inlays and flowerpot headstock inlay. Nice binding on the neck. With the Epiphone Pro Buckers, CTS pots and push/pull including phase reverse between the two pickups which has a very unique tone.

Here is my 2016 Les Paul Trad II. I love this guitar for the sound of the guitar. It’s unique. Maybe it’s the baseball bat neck, I’m not sure. But she is a real contender. If I use the boost push/pull it’s for when I switch to the single coil push/pull to remedy the 6db or so drop in volume when selected. I love the shell knobs I found for her.

Tonight’s guitar is one of my favorites.
A 2012 Epiphone CS Emporer Swingster with a Black Pebble finish and antique Bigsby look.

push/pull knobs are for pu’s in parallel or series. It’s a full hollow body, Maple body and neck. Lovely, Art Deco MOP binding around the whole guitar, neck and head stock. Very nice! I love playing her...

Oh snap! You went for the ‘59 LP! Sweeeet.
Just saw the one pickup Les Paul gold yesterday. That should be a real blast.
Congratulations sir!

I wanted to repost the Riviera P93 after I found I could get away with a little bit higher res photos.

Plus I wanted to get a better close up of the job I did on the pu’s.
And I left out I yanked the tulip tuners and put in Grover pu’s

I had to re-bore the tuner holes as the Grover’s did not fit. It was a lot of work but I Ike the new tuners a lot better.

She is a 2016 and a factory stamped 2nd.

OK we are finishing up tonight gents!
The next Epi is a 2015 Ebony Sheraton II with all Gibson hardware and hi end wiring with two Bareknuckle pu’s.

It was a steal and I bought it on Reverb.
The guy listed 4 that he had all the same overhauls on and they were all sold the first day. I just got lucky and got the last one.

I put the Iron Age knobs and the Resomax V2 with the Graphtech saddles on it myself.

 

[Space1999]

And last up is the first of the new Epiphone Pro line I bought. A factory second 2016 Sheraton II.

There was a very small lighter colored patch on the front where someone must have put their oily finger on it and it never took the paint very well. In fact I am almost sure they painted the body 2X to correct it but no luck.
It did however give me a Sheraton in the darkest wine color I have ever seen

As per usual I changed out the bridge and tailpiece with Resomax and I had bought a very cool set of knobs from Iron Age.
I have Iron Age knobs on all my guitars, but unfortunately, the owner got out of the jeweled knob biz and caters more to metal heads now (nothing wrong with metal

Anyway she is one of my favorites and had about the lowest action I have ever been able to get on an Epiphone after checking the neck and dialing in the bridge.

The abalone triangles are perfect on this one too. I love mutts!

 

[Space1999]

So that just leaves my pedal board, which is my entire sound. I just run it through a good transistor amp (I am always looking for the ultimate one) which right now is a modified Boss Nextone Artist with a Celestion “The Cream” 90 watt speaker in it) Yes that is a 9 pound speaker with about 4 pounds of Blue Alnico magnet in the trunk.

Nice one ! And welcome aboard.
You should make a post in the Introduction sub forum and give us some background on your fleet.

Just finished updating my Casino Coupe. It gets the most play at my house, despite being the least expensive guitar I own. I decided to put some time/money into it - DiMarzio mini humbuckers and Grover locking tuners. I might change the pots. if I can find the right ones - I like slower turning pots. that give some resistance while turning.

New to forum. Here's my 2 Epi's: Hinds V and Iommi SG.

Means he polished it, likely with an auto body compound system. Mother's, Meguire's etc.
