Damn, that's sweet. Only 100 being made though? DUMP.

These are made in the USA.

They're probably gonna cost a fortune.

I think I prefer the six-in-line headstock ones. Aside from that they look gorgeous. $1000 pricetag?

+1

It looks half arsed with that headstock, as if they've just lifted the neck from the Les Paul side of the factory.

Are the ones with the 6-in-line headstocks still on sale? I saw them going for cheap on Musicians Friend , but i havnt seen them anywhere else. Especially not in the UK.

you can get a 70's one for like 300 that looks exactly like that.

OHH BUT WAIT THIS ONE HAS 700 DOLLARS WORTH OF GLUE IN IT. THE 70'S ONE IS A SHITTY BOLT ON.

FUCK YOU EPIPHONE FUCK YOU AND YOUR BOLT ON

my 70s japanese bolt on epiphone was super unstable because the bolt on tenon was super super skinny. i felt like it was going to break off. it probably wasn't, but it felt super flexy, and the strings would go out of tune at the slightest roxorz.

it looked exactly like this:

i sold it, but i probably wouldnt have were it set neck'd solidly.

all that said, a proper fender bolt on is super solid, perhaps even the most solid feeling method of construction. so there.

if custom colors and robroe pickup covers are important, then surely the method by which they attach the neck to the body is as well, right?

the new one looks nice.

i agree, my j.s. and my 60 musicmaster neck feel like they don't even need a truss rod, and any ajustment is a half a turn at most.
i guess its just the neck shape and compound truss rod thing.
