Theyre cool, they are just using up parts from the red one they used to make though. I had one of those. They're ok, but incredibly neck heavy and the bridge breaks strings constantly.

They look nice but they're pretty bad quality IMO... had to repair that exact Bass yesterday. SO much wrong with it... Nightmare !!
And that trem is so stiff and unusual. The arm is about 10 miles from the guitar.... nasty nasty.
Personally I would go near them. A polished turd springs to mind, but a nice coloured turd all the same

I thought the thread was going to be about the Royale series. They ain't Pelham Blue, but overall still not a bad move for Epiphone all Gretschin' it up in 2011.

The flakey binding sure looks nice on white.
Something about the Swingster almost looks out of place though, in sort of a appealing way.

I'm really excited about these:
Wonder how much they cost, I want to get my grant green on.

Saw some of the Royale series at the GC in Reno. They played really nice. Very tempting indeed.

Goddamn right, Epiphone got their shit in one fucking sock.

Even the wildcat looks nice. Usually the natural/flame finish turns me off, but this ispretty nice. Epiphone kickin ass!
edit. Also nice to see that the other daughter company is also way cooler than the parent.

These are nice looking but I just can't get on with SG's. I played one of these and thought it was nice though.
The rest of the stuff looks cool too. Not too fond of the guitars that Andi posted, I think that white and gold nearly always looks like a cheap copy of a White Falcon. I think that's maybe the only guitar that can pull off that scheme well.

I don't really think of Epiphone as a daughter company, more like an abused junior partner who gets given all the shit jobs that the senior partner knows will make them unpopular (a Clegg, if you will). I really like Epiphone originals, like the Casino, the Sheraton and the Emperor.colabonham wrote:edit. Also nice to see that the other daughter company is also way cooler than the parent.

Hope these beauties play as good as they look.
I've been an Epiphone fan since I learned the company history. As many of you probably know, Epi used to be Gibson's biggest competitor, matching or exceeding Gibson quality. Truly the best playin guitar I own is an Epiphone from 1963. But lots of cheap-ass guitars with the Epi name have been sold to rank beginners over the years...
Hope the name reconnects with its heritage.
