need help identifying epiphone guitar

Posted by pat on Sun, 01/30/2005 - 02:30.

i have an epiphone special sg that i bought in the early eighties brand new. all were made in japan or korea at that time, yet it says made in usa all over. not just usa, made in usa. (i was told some say usa, not actually using the words "made in", which would lead one to believe it was made in usa, but this actually says "made in usa"). i was thinking maybe i got hold of a special prototype or sample that was actually made in the usa. can anybody look this up? the serial number is: 82762515

thank you!!

Doesn't Anyone Have setting for a Zoom 707 2 ?

Posted by A Hunter- (S. Africa) on Sun, 01/30/2005 - 04:06.

Hi there guys,

Fellow musician from cape Town, desperately seeking ANY musician's settings using a Zoom 707 11 PLEZZZ?
But me thinks I might have to sell it, as I have surfed, hunted and not once, have a found ANY settings from a Zoom 707 2 owner - that gives me any settings to get close to a Mark Knoffler - Santana - Gary Moore - Jeff beck- Trevor Rabin sound??
I would greatly appreciate ANY settings OR even a web site where I can sit another hour and find nothing.

Keep rockin' out there.

Thin Lizzy

Posted by Pete on Sun, 01/30/2005 - 18:57.

Anyone got a view on whether Thin Lizzy stuff is of interest these days? I'm thinking of moving on a couple of Les Pauls seeing as I don't play any more - one of which Robbo used as a spare and is in his origninal Thin Lizzy flight case (I used to manage him and bought it off him at the time).

While I'm on - can anyone tell me what a second hand les paul fetches these days? - one's a '79 deluxe with mini humbuckers in tobacco sunburst, the other a '90 standard in cherry sunburst....

Be much obliged for any advice.

Re: Thin Lizzy

Posted by andrew on Sun, 01/30/2005 - 19:23.

If you have pictures, I might take some interest. Thin lizzy memorabilia won't get too much attention from anyone that isn't a big fan. They don't get too much publicity. Maybe if Phil lynott wouldn't have died... LP's on the otherhand depend on the year they were built. Gibson in notorious for making really bad nice guitars and then the next year making excellent. It depends on the quality control and who is checking/making them in nashville. I own newer LP's and they are heaven. If you have any pics or more info i might take a peek, make you an offer.

lizzy is still big in the UK, why not put it on ebay with a fat reserve and see how it goes??

fender strat question?

Posted by Clay Johnson on Mon, 01/31/2005 - 02:36.

I recently purchased a warmoth vintage strat neck and i was wondering if i could get decals added on to the headstock. I was wondering if they were stickers because im not to crazy about that and was wondering do they make them so that it looks and feels original

Re: fender strat question?

Posted by J on Mon, 01/31/2005 - 12:37.

theyre waterslide decals - go to www.axesrus.com

you simply submerge them in water and apply them very carefully. not stickers, there are the official things.

to get it looking exaclty like an original, you gradually build up coats of lacquer on the headstock using spray can of lacquer.

Ahh the joys of making fake guitars!

Re: fender strat question?

Posted by lee on Mon, 01/31/2005 - 16:44.

well if they are good enough for Slash, then why not.

Hondo les poul copy.

Posted by Jesper on Mon, 01/31/2005 - 17:17.

Hello. I have just bought a hondo les poul copy, and i dont know anything about it.. Is it an old guitar, and what is the price of it. what qaulity is it... It is in very good shape, and it sounds very good.

Re: Hondo les poul copy.

Posted by Lee on Mon, 01/31/2005 - 22:18.

Hondo II ??? its probably worth $50, not very good guitars, if they cost $100 new then $99 would have gone into making them look nice and the other dollar was spent on the strings.
