    My Epi Triggerman 60 DSP. Great clean channel which is all I use. I did manage to score a brand new original Epi foot switch for it last month, possibly the last one (retailing) in the world?

    Want an Epiphone ES-175

    Hey Daniel. I'm in New Zealand and this came via a local site like eBay which is called TradeMe. Yes, I'm a big fan of natural finishes too. I don't buy anything else.

    Want an Epiphone ES-175

    Epi ES 175s do occasionally turn up in mint condition. This time last year I was fortunate enough to score this ES 175 Premium with OHSC like new.

    Immaculate 1977 FT-150.

    I recently picked up this absolutely immaculate 45 year old FT-150. One careful owner from new who said it was his daily player... not a scratch on it! A Norlin period flat top made in the Matsumoku factory, Japan. All maple laminate body, bolt on 3 piece maple neck, zero fret, adjustable...

    WTAF???

    As a New Zealander I'd just like to say, not my problem ... but ... Once you have the number of guns circulating amongst the population that you do in the U.S. with such poor legislation that only a small percentage are trackable, the chance of controlling the situation has long since past. A...

    The Online Sales Zoo

    "On FB Marketplace their modus operadi is now to at least ask a question or maybe two like condition (which is already give) and how long have I owned it. Then they typically agree to the listed price and tell me __________ will be picking it up but they will be paying me via Venmo or Zelle and...

    Triggerman 60 Switch Pedal

    I've had this, long since discontinued, Epiphone Triggerman 60 DSP amp for a bout a year and love the tones I can get out of it. Particularly the cleans. I searched and searched for an original Epi switch pedal for it. I missed a couple on Reverb that had sold years previously. Then out of the...

    My Masterbilt DR 500 MCE

    My Masterbilt DR 500MCE came from the shop with a small but significantly deep gouge in the top of the lower bout. (It also came with a significant discount!) Anyway, I filled the gouge with layer upon layer of tinted nail polish to seal it, then cut and applied an armrest to cover my shoddy...

    The Gibson 57s in my ES 175 are beautiful, granted its a hollow body rather than a semi and I'm looking for a clean jazz sound but they're wonderful. No complaints here! That guitar is gorgeous. I love that tailpiece and vibrato. It's stunning!

    I’ve bought 4 Epiphones in the last couple of months

    I know it's not a competition but I've bought 7 Epiphones in the last 8 months including a Masterbilt DR500MCE which arrived yesterday. I couldn't be happier with the quality and feel of every one of these instruments. They have to be by far the best value for your dollar on the planet!
