See, I don't like these as much as the regular ones: the pickups aren't as pretty, the headstock logo's ugly, and I don't like Bigsbys.

I like the one in "Royal Tan" without a trem.

Here is a vintage '61

Yep, although the trem looks cool (can't say for functionality).

Black pickups looks bad with those finishes.

I don't like it either. I like the regular ones much better. I don't mind the black pickups so much, but I don't like the finish or the headstock logo.

I don't mean this to be offensive but how much do you actually play your guitars before you trade/sell/buy new ones? I guess if I could afford to have a revolving door of guitars I'd probably be the same but still, I'd just rock what guitars you have.

I'd love one of these Epiphones but just because it'd make my Grant Green impersonations far more authentic.

I love the one with the tremotone .

I opened the thread expecting to like this but it really doesn't do a lot for me at all. I love casinos but I much prefer a solid colour and chrome pickup covers.
