Thanks! The other one is a '65 Wilshire I got last Monday.

I left it at the shop to have Ted Vig do setup. He is a genius. The problem with the Maestro Vibrola is
you don't get enough downward tension,but Ted said all you have to do is flip the bridge. Maybe that is
just how how it is supposed to be. Which way did these come from the factory?

Anyway when I went to the store to pick up my Wilshire, Jim Harms,who own's the store says " I just got in a '67 Olympic that matches your guitar.

Oh,and look at what I found in draw! I think I bought it about 5 years ago,forgot I even had it.

I got a good place for it now.

Does that look better? Had to put it on a little crooked because the original glue mark was crooked.

SCOOP: Ex Bush frontman keeps resurrecting long dead threads without adding anything of value to them! It's considered bad internet etiquette dude, If you have some cool info to add by all means it's worthwhile keeping it in one thread. I'm sure WTR appreciates your compliments (although he's probably not got the guitars anymore) but it's not really worth resurrecting a thread to say 'cool gits bro'. Not ragging on you mate, I just figure other folks are less tolerant about it and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt before it escalates! DUN DO IT MANG!

Ah, ok. For a second I thought (and did not question) that WTR had bought two vintage Epis in the last day or so and I'd missed it.

Can we get a photo of all the current family members together? Like in one photo?

That Epiphone Olympic is for sale at my friends store.

I don't have a big collection. I just buy guitars and then trade or sell them to get other guitars. Right now I only have 3 electric guitars.Most of the stuff I have owned is in my photo albums (Link)
