    Default New guitar!!

    Ha! Now it's time to tune up the rock-a-billy and honky tonk chops

    Got a super deal on a factory 2nd Epi ES-295. P90s, thick hollow body, Bigsby, what more can you want?!?!

    The twang's the thang

    I had to rotate the pictures to get them to upload. Mods, you think you could massage the size calcualtion? 640x480 and 480x640 are the same size files

    Really nice looking (turning my head 90 degrees to the left) and now back again - tell us what you think of those P90's in them I have heard that SD P90's are very good if you think of changing them.

    BTW try www.photobucket.com for hosting any pics - its free and although the images have a limit of 250k it should not cause to much of a problem and they will automatically downsize them if they are too big. See my guitars in my signature.

    Wow, that looks great! My Goldtop is my #1 and I love the way they gleam onstage.
    I'd love to have that thing! As long as the intonation is set perfectly, then you pencil mark the floating bridge, that thing will ring nicely. How much? New or used? If you don't mind?

    I got it as a factory 2nd. The only flaw is a slight scrape in the finish near the pickup selector. Other than that it's perfect. I paid $560 w/case. They're hard to find. I read on the Epi forum that they only make a production run when the back orders reach a certain level. I was lucky to find this one, I've been lusting after one for a couple years

    Schweet!!!!

    I insist that you go get yourself some Little Charlie and the Nightcats if you want to hear one of those put into use like you have never heard before.

    Interested to see how you like it once you get all settled in with it. I have been eyeing one for ages now since the real deals are considerably more than I am willing to spend on them.

    Yup but it is actually Baty.

    You really have to see them live to truly appreciate them, I don't think they've been captured right yet on aluminum.

    That's Big, the most recent disc probably captures the sound best. Plus it has the addeed bonus of a Rusty Zinn track if you want to hear another killer guitar player.
