I think they need to ban people that keep using Yahoo/Geocites :|

 

[silverpig]

If I had a page somewhere else, I'd host the pics there...

Drag-n-Drop doesn't work for me. (IE 6 on WinXP)

 

[silverpig]

Damn, exceeded the allowed data transfer... Finding a new host...

 

[misle]

E-mail the pics to me, I'll put them up on my school's server.

 

[silverpig]

Thanks man, but I got the urls fixed. Just activated my @shaw.ca account...

 

[silverpig]

Sweet. It works now.

 

[misle]

That has a really nice flame to it.

My guess is Epiphone.

<< Sweet. It works now. >>

Okay, you're forgiven now

 

[BoberFett]

Epiphone. Call it a hunch.

Well, this thread seems to be dying out, so I'll just post the verdict:

And the winner is...

 

[Rudee]

I'd nail Debbie Gibson!

 

[BoberFett]

I prefer the SG.

Both?

 

[misle]

The volume/tone knobs gave it away. At least that is what I based my guess on.

aren't epiphones basically gibsons? i always thought epiphones were gibson but for the overseas market.

hehe, i know the answer. But i accidently pushed the wrong one on the poll, opps. Sack: Epiphones are basically the cheaper version of Gibson, mainly because they are made out of the USA. All gibsons are made in the USA, and they tend to sound better. Id say if you got the money go for the gibson, but an epiphone sounds pretty good too

 

[BoberFett]

I figured Epiphone because the knobs and pick guard land such looked a little 'plasticy' to me, if you know what I'm saying.

 

[silverpig]

The knobs are exactly the same as the authentic Gibsons. I played a Gibson LP Standard at the store while testing out amps, and it had the same knobs, and pickguard for that matter. It's probably just a photo thing.

And actually, this guitar will sound the same as the Gibson, because those are authentic Gibson pickups in it too. I like it better than the Gibsons too. As I said, I tested out a Gibson LP standard ($2500 cdn) when I was amp testing, and I could not tell the difference between my guitar and the Gibson. I could tell before I got the pickups changed though. The thing is, my guitar feels a bit better than the Gibson did too. The frets are a little nicer in particular.
