Epiphone Johnny A. Guitar

I saw one last week. Beautiful. Epi is delivering goodness these days.

 

I love it, but those S-holes are so crude!

 

Curious to see if the tuning stability is as bad as the WildKat. I mean, LOOK at that break angle.

 

Ya, it really looks like a Biggsfix is in order.

 

I really do like the look of the guitar though. Always have. Beautiful. And the feature set on this is quite nice[don't know about that switch placement though]. Nice that you get 57 Classics and a US Bigsby.

 

Whoops, I take it back. The guy in the video appears to be wrong according to the Epiphone website. The Bigsby is a B70.

Seriously nice guitar.

Now, if I could only play like Johnny A.....

 

One of the few pointy or Gibson guitars that I'd be interested in. I'd also be concerned about the break angle.

 

Bigsby/break angle no problem...lots of really nice tail-pieces out there!!!

 

You don't often see an electric guitar with a case and ebony fretboard at $1000. Didn't realize these are 25.5" scale.

 

Did you say CASE ! And I do believe I see a JACKPLATE in that photo too .......

 

Love the looks, too bad it's not a Gretsch. But, put in some TVJs, rip out two of the knobs and maybe it's a good one!

(On a serious note, does any one really need separate tone knobs?)

 

You can, just release your inner talents. Be free!

 

Trust

Trust Epi to come through for you. 57 Classics are the stuff too!

 

I was actually thinking about this as I often like to adjust the bridge tone but not the neck tone. With the switch, it is easier to see where I'm at but with the tone knob, I often forget and have to quickly reach down and crank the tone. I've been thinking about either having the tone apply only to the bridge or separate controls.

 

I think this is the first time I've seen him standing up.
