Very interesting! Thanks – I really appreciate the info! What’s the url for the GNW web site?
macParticipantThanks, Syl. This DOES get “curiouser and curiouser”. I’m still interested in tracking it down as far as possible, so maybe I’ll get it to the guys at Gibson, if they have any old-timers around who might know anything about it.
I have a much better camera, so I can post better pictures, if it would help at all. Or, if I can take pictures of some other part of the guitar that would reveal anything, just let me know.
Thanks again for all your help…
macParticipantmacParticipantHmmm. It’s a very good job of faking a label, if so. That WOULD be interesting…
I’ve taken the pictures, but I don’t know where to post them so you can see them. Can I e-mail them to you, or what?
Thanks…
macParticipantThanks, Michael!
I figure it’s either very, very rare and therefore priceless, so I’ll get rich selling it (HIGHLY unlikely), or very uncommon because it was considered junk.
In any case, it’s got a very decent tone. I’ve got a couple of Taylors, and I wouldn’t say it compares very favorably to them, but it sounds a lot better than an old Yamaha FG-300 I’ve got…
macParticipantNot only have I drawn a blank here so far, but I called Gibson and they don’t have any record of an EW-1 being produced. They suggested I call Gruhn in Nashville, but they don’t know anything about it either, mostly because they’re only interested in US-made instruments.
I just don’t understand how a major player like Epiphone could produce a guitar that nobody’s heard of…
