    :D:D

  2. one quote's stuck with me for a long time.

    "if some new pickups, a new nut and some new tuners will make an epiphone sound just like a gibson, epiphone's wouldn't be so cheap".

    you can upgrade all you want, and you could still get a very nice axe, but it's not gonna be the same as a les paul. so, take it with a grain of salt. dont want to rain on your parade, but dont be mad when it still sounds like an epiphone.,

    yeah dude i know its always going to be an epiphone, i paid £500 for it, if i payed £1500 for a gibson and it only sounded as good as an epip id be pissed! so im not expecting it to, but as i really like the feel of the guitar and i think the craftmanship seems ok on it i think its worth my time, effort and money trying to better it :D

    thanks for your comments and help though

  3. hey people, i was thinking about buying a new guitar until i relized i really like the feel of my epiphone, and instead of speding money on a new guitar i could upgrade pretty much everything on my epiphone, heres what i was thinking:

    Tuners - Grover Rotomatic Locking tuners 1:18

    All new electics

    Replacing the three picks ups with Golden age Humbuckers ( has anyone tried these?!?)

    SCHALLER STRAP LOCKS

    and a good old bigsby trem ( i dont thinkin ill use it often but i heard it adds sustain, and it looks totally awesome :D )

    so has anyone got coments? sugestions? and does anyonw know what the golden age pick ups are like?

    and one last question, the binding on my les paul is faded white, kinda like cream colour, is there an easy way to get that white? if i could get it white i would i would like to have all chrome hardware.

  4. "I could live without rock and roll, as long as i could still have the sex and the drugs" Nigel Tufnel, the mighty Spinal Tap

    sorry about going off topic but..........dude your Spinal tap quote is incorrect. Nigel did not say that.

    Mick Shrimpton : As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.

    :D
