Epiphone Beauty Contest

[BGood]

Am I remembering right? Was this a matte finish one that you shined up? It looks amazing.

Thanks, yep, that's what I did with polishing compound.

What a stunning piece!

My photography skills are pretty poor. Until I have the time to set up a photo session using a digital camera I just bought nothing I have is a very good pic. This may be the best of the bunch.

Lovely pics!
Gold tops are imho quite hard to photograph. You managed to minimize reflections on the finish. I especially like how soft and basically diffused the light is in the first pic.

These are real beauty shots!

Wow! It's awesome!

My lone Epi, but I think it’s pretty, nicer looking than the PRS to be honest, but I find myself picking up the PRS more often when I want to actually try to play.

Thanks brother. To be completely honest though it was as much by accident as intentional. I just keep shooting until I got a couple I liked well enough to keep.

I'm the opposite, I love how PRSs look and admire their fit and finish, but I've never been able to cope with the balance and size. But they make some really nice guitars.

Gold top, P90s, drool...

 

[ThreeChordWonder]

I saw no reason to change the ' 57's out .

I find Epi humbuckers a bit muddy somehow.

My LP has Whole Lotta Humbuckers, the V has Saturday Night Specials, and my 335 has Seth Lovers.

My Gibson SG has a 59/Custom bridge and a Jazz neck.

If I ever buy a Ferrari I'll probably put an Aston engine in it. That's just me.

Don't know whether it's officially a '56 Tribute or a '56 Reissue. Maybe Peter would know. He's an encyclopedia of knowledge of such things.

Here's my entry. Tough choice.

I just purchased this yesterday and it should be shipping from PA to VA either today or tomorrow. It's a 2004 Standard.
