As usual, forgive me if this has already been posted, but I just checked out the Epiphone website and saw these:

Wilshire 1966 Tremotone

An Epiphone version of the Nighthawk:

Pretty nice. Neither interest me really (as a lefty), but I can see the Tremotone doing OK.

tremotone seems to have too much going on.

The nighthawk thing looks like they let a drunk man loose on one of those guitar builder programs.

The tremotone is cool though. I would like to try it out.

A lot of good things coming from Epi . Signature Sheradon from the guy from Kings Of Leon , that Wilshire, and that Nighthawk. just hope they're still making the Nick Valensi Riviera.

Wilshire looks pretty cool, although I beginning to wonder if "all these wilshire reissues" are gonna be like "all those Les Paul reissues" or "all those strat reissues".

The nighthawk looks choice. I don't even mind the headstock.

My mate Jon (best guitarist/worst early-adopter of gear) worked an entire summer when we were 17 to buy one of those. To his credit, he still has it.

Why did they put the Crestwood Deluxe tremelo on the Wilshire?

'Cause the traditional Wilshire trem looks gash?

I do; they were shit looking guitars, but they sound good the neck pickup is very nice (sounding that is) ugly ugly guitars...

Why can't I just have an SG with all the flaws corrected instead?
