These new "Inspired by Gibson" Epi SGs look the business. 2 piece mahogany body, burst bucket pickups, CTS pots. What are you missing out on by not buying a Gibson?

Highly likely. 1/3 of the price though. But I guess you can pick up secondhand Gibsons for $1500 on a good day.HackSaw wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 5:23 amShit QC?StratMatt wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 7:45 pm These new "Inspired by Gibson" Epi SGs look the business. 2 piece mahogany body, burst bucket pickups, CTS pots.

Bloody inflation. My 2013 standard at $2k (maybe $2.2?) new seems a long ago bargain. QC was good on that though. My special however, binding was filed off by someone with Parkinson’s I’m guessing. Absolutely shocking. But… I still love it, it’s a rock’n’roll machine!

Re: What are you gassing for?
On a les paul it looks weird as they are so iconic but on a casino I think it looks really cool, I'm sure some of it is what we're used to seeing too.StratMatt wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 7:26 amIt was always that godawful shape of the Epi headstock that put me off.jeremyb wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 7:20 amIts the name on the headstock that puts off most people sadly.StratMatt wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 7:45 pm These new "Inspired by Gibson" Epi SGs look the business. 2 piece mahogany body, burst bucket pickups, CTS pots.

Yeah I am anxiously awaiting the casino I ordered from ishibasi, and I think the headstock looks great on the casino! Even on the 339 I reckon it’s just grand. LP and SG though…

Nah no qualms about the new one. I understand why SingleCoil butchered the old one though.

I bought a mint SG Standard from Ishibashi for $1200 landed about 6 years ago. Those days are sadly behind us.HackSaw wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 6:30 am Bloody inflation.

Bandmate just bought exactly the guitar in the video. It really is all the PRS you need. With all respect to the manufacturer, I've played PRS that cost 5 times as much and they weren't close to being twice as good as the SE.Pvt. Ryan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 10:39 pm PRS SE STANDARD 24-08

This is a compliment to the SE, not a condemnation of PRS.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
