Yup. I don't get that either. I've had some moderator to admin discourse with our VS contact and made some suggestions relative to our Epiphone Forum that got no traction whatsoever. We don't have all that many active members to begin with and after the conversion a few left we enjoyed having...

Maybe you need to speak BOT. I hear it's a binary language. LOL

IME The Gear Page is a pit of poor posting etiquette. It took me less than 6 months to find out the place was not even worth my time.

I think we both know there are not even 30,000 members on EpiphoneTalk. The number advertised. If there are they are the most silent bunch I've ever seen. Epiphone Guitars posts 157K members 30K Since2015.

Looks like I omitted the selling price; $620.

A tribute to the vintage Gibson Les Paul 1956 Gold Top model with P90 pickups. It is a single owner guitar in excellent condition in all respects/with a hardshell case, and upgraded Faber Steel Bridge. Can ship to buyer at a cost determined by buyer zip code or local pickup. Will split the...

Few of us over at Epi-Talk are pleased with the conversions VS has made and their our way or the highway attitude. They're not even honest about the number of members who joined since 2015 when it began. I began posting in 2015 and there has not been 30,000 members join since then. We have...

Only one at the moment. My Epiphone ES339. Nice lightweight blues and r&b guitar. Woody tonality without too much bottom end.

What interested me most is the cost analysis right down to every single part required to build that model. The detail is thorough including every screw and it's cost right on down to every minute of labor, promotional costs, and overhead expense. It allows us to see just how cost conscious Leo...

After avoiding Strats for a very long time I finally bought a hardtail Robert Cray model some years ago. That guitar got traded for my Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb. Hated to see it go but I've always wanted a Deluxe Reverb. I would not pay Fender's ridiculous price ($1700) for a new one so...

It can vary depending on my mood but the one I'm playing today is right up there. It's a Custom Tele I created myself starting off with the double bound Alder body from another Tele. That's all that's left of the original. The neck is from a 2006 Nashville Deluxe. Tuners are Grovers. The...

You weren't wrong. Mine has an all Mahogany body. Must have been one of the heaviest slabs they would find. At an LP like 9lbs it's the heaviest guitar I own but I keep it for two reasons. I love the Irish Ale finish. It's more rare. It's also Leo's very first alternative to his original...

An Epiphone '56 Gold Top Les Paul. The only upgrade is a Faber Steel Bridge and ESerts. Faber products are a bit costly but on this guitar it does show up as providing a brighter faster attack and more sustain which is what I'd hoped it might do. And then there's my humble Les Paul Special...
