New guitar day and past due new guitar day!
Today big brown arrived and brought my Takamine GJ72CE 12 string! Looking it the box, I was alittle concerned...But all was well. Pulled her out, tuned it up, (everything was down a half step). Plays and sounds very nice. The neck was as I expected, but was hoping it would be thinner. Ill get used to it. Pretty nice that I can feel the top vibrating, So I know it will improve with time.
sorry the pix are poor. but here:
Got this one a few months ago. wasnt gonna NGD it, but Rand-o called me out...
EPI LP 1960 Tribute Plus.
Got it real cheap and quite FANTASTIC guit.. Has Locking Grover keys, 60's neck, Gibson 57 Classic Humbuckers, push pull pots for coil tapping, orange drop caps, bound neck. Sounds amazing and plays great. Got it along with the hardshell case for under $5 bills. The wire on the tailpiece that holds the saddles somehow got bent, (I fixed it, but I replaced with good quality one.) Brand of which eludes me right now. Wanted blue or black (preferably blue), the good price was on a black one.. Also, this model is supposed to come with epi straplocks. The dealer couldnt find them, but no biggie, Id have used Dunlops anyhow..
Again, poor phone pics..
The case:
I was originally prepared to be ripping out the pups and putting my Suhr Aldrich in the bridge and something else in the neck, but this thing sounds great and plays wonderfully. Im loving it. I do have to turn the treble down a small bit on the bridge pup. I still may change it, but Ill prolly leave the neck pup.
There you go Randy.... j/k bro
