Epiphone does it again!

Re: Epiphone does it again!

I recall Rob Chapman describing the neck on that guitar as "gigantic".
It's a 50s profile apparently. I'd have it anyway because come on, that thing is pure sex.

Yeah, still tempting, cuz I really like the guitar.... But, I wouldnt enjoy playing it cuz of the neck.. Always struggle with big necks, and now Im fighting carpal tunnel, so even worse..

The ebony fret board is a real plus. I love the feel of it.

I love Judas Priest and think Richie Faulkner is a hell of a guitarist. However, isn't it a bit too early to call him "legendary lead guitarist for Judas Priest"? I can think of two other guys that might deserve that title.

Yeah, a bit cheeky on their wording. I feel like they meant to say something about the band being legendary and botched the wording.

Re: Epiphone does it again!

Epiphone's got a new Bonamassa Flying V coming out. It's a '58 Korina model with a black pickguard. It's a replica of a Gibson that was bought from this mom and pop shop in Indianapolis. It looks really cool and has a raised Epiphone logo in gold on the headstock. Funny thing is, it's getting a lot of hate on Epi's FB page, as well as Joe himself. People are criticizing him for saying some thing to the effect of real guitarists not needing pedals, and for not actually using his Epi models on stage.

Personally I could separate myself from the fact that it's a Bonamassa model and just like it for what it is.

About the Bonamassa pedal thing. He said that people shouldn't over rely on pedals and use that with pedals people can mask their lack of talent. It would have gone over a whole lot better if he just said "Crap music with good pedals is still crap music." Sometimes I listen to new wave instrumental music's and chuckle at how garbage they would sound without all the chorus, phasing, and reverb.

But in other news, the new Epi V is gonna be sick. I might actually but one, even though I don't usually care for Flying Vs.
