What did you do to your Epiphone today?

[syco]

I have no pics with them all in one shot. I can't even get them all in one room.

Such a shame that you can't photograph a small group at a time .

A shame? On who?

It's ok. I post quite a lot of photos, on an ongoing basis. Here, on Gearpage, MyLes Paul, TDPRI, and StratTalk.

Most of my guitars are not Epiphones, so I would imagine that they are not especially essential to be seen here.

Today, I removed covers from Epiphone Probuckers in this ES-Les Paul.

Wow... these really are great sounding pickups, especially with the covers removed! Fantastic instrument.

The ES-Les Paul is 6.9 lbs. of sonic pleasure! It has it's own tone and personality - quite sparkly and bright. I guess they just didn't sell enough to keep making them. That's unfortunate, as most guitarists will not get the chance to even see one in person, much less play/have one. They're a really cool version of the revered Les Paul guitar, and being so light weight... very enjoyable to play and handle. It's kind of like a reduced-size, single-cut ES-339.

Today...

That red Tele is hiding like "nothing to see here, just a gang of Epiphones"

That red Tele is a Fender Blacktop Tele in which I have a pair of Gibson Classic '57s. Neck pickup has an A5 magnet replacing the A2 for some added sparkle. Volume pot is 870k with a 250k No-Load tone pot. The guitar approaches single-coil clarity, sparkle, and detail. But hum-free. Really a wonderful Tele. (I do have quite a few Teles.)

I deep cleaned my 2004 Epi Elitist Les Paul/Tobacco SB. Has Pearly Gate's pups, Orange Drop C's and stainless steel frets. The I unleashed it on my Schecter Hellraiser 2/12 Combo amp.

Most here have a quite elaborate mix of guitars ...... But no offense meant . We love pics of all guitars . Non - Epi can be put in " Other Guitar " forum .

I thoroughly cleaned my 2004 Epi Elitist LP Standard Tobacco Sunburst. It has Pearly Gate's, Stainless Steel Frets and Orange Drop C's. It and my Schecter Hellraiser 2/12 50/100 will rattle some windows and disperse of all rodents, bugs and creep crawlers in and around the property.

Pardon me. I have no idea how this loaded twice. I'll get junior in here and he will fix what a 64 year old fart messed up and a 16 year old can correct in a millisecond!!!

I unboxed my new acoustic 12 string. Still waiting on strings to be delivered. Nice set up out of the box.

I like that color quite a bit.

That colour reminds me of the sun rising.

I stumbled upon an imho pretty useful tool : it is a table that states the exact size of M3 M4, M5, etc thread diameter in the metric system, so I'm going to post it below (thanks to accu.co.uk):

Finally got some time to play a bit and because of the recent weather change, had to do a couple quick truss rod adjustments.

Thanks. I think thousandths (feeler gauges) and sixty-fourths are my two major holdouts in guitar work.

Most of my tools are metric and on a whole, I prefer the metric system in that sphere.

 

[BlueSquirrel]

Well constantly converting from metric to imperial and vice versa must be a total pain you-know-where.

We've had a joint system my entire life. Somethings are Imperial, some are metric. I really don't convert anything, I just work in one or the other.

Why Isn't the U.S. on the Metric System?

You may think of the U.S., Liberia and Myanmar as the sad-sack metric losers. The truth, however, is a little more complicated -- sort of like remembering how to switch between pounds and kilograms.

What I meant was a joint metric and imperial system of measurements, but if you really think about it it's true in that trade too.
