Well, the original was a 1964 standard old Gibson ES 175, so the original one is probably consistent with the guitars of the day. It's an interesting question as to whether or not Gibson did anything...

How is the Steve Howe 175?

Thats quite likely. I’m learning this by reading and memorizing. phonetically.

Yes, the clip-on tuners I use for classical guitars are temperamental due to the nylon strings being softer, I'd say mushy compared to steel strings. It takes longer to tune. I'll have to look into...

Well look at that! That turned out really nice. I like the new knobs, aesthetically speaking. Hoping that you have years of enjoyment with that guitar!

Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II Upgrades

I hear more midrange, more "texture" in the vintage one. Granted it's not apples to apples but this is consistent with my experience about what makes vintage dearmond pickups unique in the first...

dearmond 1100 reissue vs original which one is better?

Thanks, I'll get one. I would have said if it was for acoustic.

I have an Epi premium with the wine red color,plays great,sounds and looks great. Considering the measly sum i paid for it compared to my other guitars shows you don't have to spend a small fortune...

Anyone handled the new Epis?

Jim these are as thin as they come although the 1000 without the polepieces is ever a bit lower. You can get clearance even when the distance from the top of the guitar to the bottom of strings is...

The Barker sounds warmer, but it’s impossible to tell what difference there might be because each guitar is different. The Heritage sounds fantastic in my book!

dearmond 1100 reissue vs original which one is better?

I was very disappointed when I put the reissue on my D'A and expected to get the same sound that I got from the RC-1000 I used ages ago. Then I remembered that I was expecting to get the same sound...

dearmond 1100 reissue vs original which one is better?

I’ve shipped over 100 archtop’s both nationally and internationally. I’ve never once had a shipping incident. What’s my secret? I’ve shipped with FedEx exclusively. I always double box any...

Shipping Catastrophe

Thanks for this info. A friend of mine is selling one and I was curious if it was a lighter build like a real '64 or a heavier build for a rock guy...
