My friend Danny at GuitarPlayersCenter posted this over the holidays. It’s a fantastic and very detailed explanation of how to replace the nut on an Epiphone Les Paul Studio with a bone nut.
The guys at Jamorama have just re-vamped their website and re-launched the most popular of online guitar lesson packages.
Jamorama Lead and Jamorama Acoustic have been withdrawn and the range now consists of two products: Jamorama Standard, which is $49.95 and Jamorama Deluxe, which is $99.95.
Epiphone’s 1959 Les Paul Standard Limited Edition is modelled, as the name suggests, on the most famous Les Paul of them all — the 1959 Les Paul Standard. Original Gibson Les Paul Standard’s from 1959 change hands for hundreds of thousands of dollars because it’s regarded by many as being the peak of Gibson’s Les [...]
By now you’ll have heard the very sad news that Les Paul has died, aged 94. There’s little I can add here to the glowing tributes that have already come from some of the biggest names in the business. Except to say this: stop for a moment and try and imagine how the last fifty [...]
Music Radar recently reviewed the ES-335 Dot. It’s verdict? “If you fancy a no-nonsense semi with more than a whiff of background and expertise, cast your eyes in Epiphone’s direction. The Dot is a gem.”
The Epiphone 1962 Re-issue in White is the second in Epiphone’s Custom Historic USA guitars, following the cherry red Wilshire 1962 Re-issue launched in January.
Like that model, the white version will be very difficult to get hold of, only 100 are being made. The cherry red Wilshire Re-issue sold out immediately, so you really will have to be quick.
Epiphone 1956 Gold top, originally uploaded by Wouter Duijndam.
According to Epiphone’s website, the 1956 Gold Top has been discontinued, which is a great shame as by all accounts it’s a lovely guitar. It’s certainly on my list of Epi’s I’d buy – although, I don’t really need a another Les Paul.
So, to mark the passing [...]
This post on the Epiphone blog paves the way for what looks like a new Wilshire in white. No details at the moment, I’ll post more as soon as I have it.
The Riviera P93, which was discontinued last year will be back in stores from 8 May.
If demand is anything like it was last year, however, it won’t be available for long, so better get those orders in now.
The Riviera P93 has three ‘dog-ear’ single coil P-90 pick-ups and a Bigsby trem and tailpiece. The Bigsby, along with the polyurethane finish and gold hardware make this one good-looking guitar.
Epiphone is running a promotion where, by purchasing any Epiphone guitar costing $500 or more, tyou can claim a free copy of Guitar Rig Mobile 3.
Guitar Rig is a highly acclaimed guitar amp modeller and the Mobile version incorportaes a ‘light’ version of the software plus a USB 2 I/O interface.
So what are you waiting [...]
