I think it's one of the Korean-made vintage rather than the newer Chinese ones (with the slightly dubious reputation) so I think that's all the better. Should be here by Monday, if not before, so with any luck I'll be getting pictures up in a week or so - the wait is almost over!!!


    Explorers are one of the more consistent and better made items in the Epiphone catalog.

    Congrats
  2. What do you guys think a reasonable would be to sell my strat for? It's a sunburst mexican strat with GFS 70's Texas Greybottoms in it. It's in the shop getting checked out right now (there was something wrong with the output of the middle pickup). I don't know how much the repairs will cost, usually close to 100$. I was thinking of trying to sell it for around 400$, would that be too much?

    How is it? Is it any kind of damaged or aged or so, or does it look fine? Aspect is pretty much part of the price, I wouldn't buy an amazing guitar with the best pickups if it's not pretty and doesn't look right That price sounds reasonable anyway, 350-450 $ for a second-hand Mex Strat is reasonable

    Are you crazy? beaten up guitars look much better than brand new ones. For me that is.
  5. It looks fine. No damage at all. I wouldn't say I like beaten up guitars haha. They have to have a certain look to them. Like the new Road Worn strats are beautiful. I love the look of the sunburst one. However, I picked one up in the store and I hated the feel of it. I didn't like it at all. But anyway, I like hte look of a finish wearing off, but not like dented and scratched up and stuff.

    Thanks for the opinion on the price Alex.

    Well I'm called Sergio but I'll accept it
  7. That's a matter of taste, mate Depending on the guitar, a bit of this-has-been-heavily-used aspect is really good, but I would never buy a cracked, scratched and beaten up guitar.
  8. My bad Sergio!!! I actually know your name (real name, according to your username), i was just half asleep hahah, sorry dude. How's the Gibson treating you? You still playing it or did your grandpa or whatever take it back? lol.
  9. Gear notes from seeing the Get On Your Boots video this morning...

    Looks like Adam is using an Epiphone Rivoli (which he's mentioned in interviews as being used in the studio before) or perhaps it's a Gibson EB-2.

    Looks like Larry is using the silver sparkle kit used at the Lincoln Memorial gig.

    Edge is doing that 'Edge thang' with his Gibson LP Custom. Looks like there is a Marshall, Fender and fawn covered Vox AC30 amp there.

    Cool video. Like the song more and more. (And I liked it already!)

    It's an Epi, I've seen the brand in some part of the videoclip

    Exactly the same here. Very amen
  11. I'm sure I've seen the classical Epiphone "€" on the head of the bass

    I dont know about interviews or quotes. I just now that bass kicks my ass everytime
