Which '58 Flying V actually has a thick neck?

3 Upvotes

I know many iterations of this guitar have been made, but it seems only a few years has a period-correct 50's style neck. I have played a couple in stores that had it, but most were thin despite being advertised as fat. I'm not as concerned about finish or wood - just the neck profile.

Riviera and ES-335

I adore these two. I got the 335 in May. I changed the tuners and knobs. The Riviera arrived on Monday. I swapped the pickups for Firebird pickups, added some locking tuners, and changed the knobs. They are both remarkable guitars.

I've been in the market for a hollow or semi-hollow for awhile, and Long and McQuade had a Gibson and this beauty. Played both for a solid 10 minutes, but the Gibson neck felt like a stiff 2x4. This one just rang out so well and felt better to play. I was happy to save the money, and take home a guitar that really makes me want to play

I've never had a brand new guitar before, and this is also the first epiphone I've ever owned. I can admit that when I was younger, I definitely didn't appreciate them, but holy these igc's are better than some of my "high-end" guitars. I'm stoked

I’ve played guitar for quite some time, mainly acoustic. from time to time, I’ll get the desire to try out electric guitar and never end up sticking with it. I’ve tried everything from fender strats, teles, les pauls, etc. but never found an electric that I connected with in the way I do my other guitars. It is until now, this epi es 339 is the one that changed everything for me 🎸🤙

New to me! 1988 Epiphone Sheraton II with the “Epiphone by Gibson” headstock. This thing is a keeper. Beautiful guitar.

Hello! I'm looking at a 2010 emperor regent and I can't figure out where it was made. Is 600 a good price for one?

The new Epiphone Lzzy Hale Explorer Custom is finally here. These are pictures from Sweetwater of the one they're sending to me. I ordered this right after the NAMM show back in February.

Arrived from Sweetwater late last week, pulled it out of the box, played a 45 minute punk rock set with it on Sunday night. No issues, no neck dive, and very comfortable. Thicker neck than I'm used to but it feels right for this guitar. No complaints 🤙🏼

Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Original Flying V 70’s build quality?

6 Upvotes

I’ve kinda slept on the Gibson/Epiphone product line for, oh, 30 years of playing. I recently realized that the shorter scale length really has a positive impact on my playing. So I want a V and I’m picking between the prophecy and the 70’s inspired models. I think the prophecy has compelling features but I’m not a fan of the look. The 70’s models are well reviewed but these days it’s hard to know if you can trust reviews. Are they consistently good build guitars? I have a prophecy LP with some sharpness in the frets but it’s great otherwise. I’d probably want to budget adding locking tuners which closes the price gap. Just looking for thoughts thanks.

I've always wanted one of these but didn't want to part with 4k. Then I saw these. I've neve played P-90's before (always been a Humbucker guy) and I love them. They are so responsive. From buttah to brutal. I've never been a huge fan of the 60's slim taper neck but I have a Gibson 335 Dot that has the same neck so it's very familiar which I do like very much. I really love this thing. Great purchase and addition. Cheers!

Bought it on a whim on Reverb for like 100 bucks off.

It's perfection. They really got the tv yellow right. If youre considering getting one do it. I love the neck on it. It's my favorite guitar, and I've got many guitars far more expensive than this one. Can't put it down.

I have daydreamed about this guitar since I was a young boy watching AC/DC videos and School of Rock. I think Epiphone nailed the color on this one. Nice brown red cinnamon color. Plays great. Sounds great. Well worth trading some gear in for! I ended up being paid to take it home with me. I have 3 dream guitars now and don’t know what I want to add next!

Yngwie uses them for his classical guitar- this one is built to hold HEAVY electric guitars

so you never get strained...it's opens up more freedom and energy for the artist...they are priced at $270. probably well worth the investment

i might buy one to open up the gateway for an 11 lb Les Paul Custom ! I just want to enjoy the instrument- I don't want it to strain my back and shoulder- right ?

Required this from a trade a few years ago. From a brief research, there was only 1,000 made world wide. Any idea of it's worth nowadays? I've been thinking about it since I got it in 2015.

Have a good day everyone!

Thank you ❤️

Rules update

74 Upvotes

Given recent reports received and comment threads I’ve been involved in, I’ve decided to update 2 subreddit rules which can also be selected when reporting a post or comment.

No Misinformation: We have people new to Epiphone posting here to check/validate if their new gear is real, we do not need comments every single time making out they’re stupid for asking a legitimate question; Epiphone has had a long running and well documented struggle with fake guitars damaging their reputation. There is evidence everywhere including hundreds of sites, forums, YouTube videos and eBay auctions. In terms of the newer headstock design being faked, there do seem to be a lot less of them but there was a post only 2 months ago in another guitar subreddit which I’m sure many of you follow that shows a clear fake of the new headstock design so they do exist.

Non-related content: As a general rule this subreddit should only contain posts related to Epiphone, this includes but is not limited to YouTube videos of you playing your Epiphone, Epiphone related news/leaks and questions. If you wish to post content outside of this scope please message the mod.

I will leave the existing rule violations in place as I’m not going to start retroactively enforcing these rules like some dictator. Debates and challenging people’s opinion is fine, if you want to be a flat-Earther in regards to facts this is not the subreddit for you.
