Hey everyone, pleasure to make my first post here, love the forum!
I recently finished the upgrading process of my Epiphone G-1275 Doubleneck guitar (the cherry red one).
Now, I know I'll never escape the fact that this guitar is made of a mahogany laminate, but I've tried to de-Epiphone the guitar as much as possible. Many of us look at guitars with upgrade already in mind, perhaps because it's a good deal..maybe it plays great but the pickups are weak. Or the guitar is perfect except the tuners aren't ideal.
I made this video to show people what's possible when you upgrade these guitars. This is especially the case with this doubleneck, who's Gibson counterpart is $6499 on sweetwater. All said and done, with all of the upgrades this guitar has cost me around $2000 CDN.
The 12-string has been replaced with Seymour Duncan SH-1 Neck and Bridge pickups. Sounds fantastic! Threw Gibson 498T/490R in the 6-string.
Love those 59's!
I hope people get some insight and enjoy the video. Thanks all!
