Where are my bitches?
Got my Epi Valve Jr Monday:



Ordered an Epiphone Dot Deluxe too. It's arrival got delayed 2 days, I was so excited yesterday when the rental office said to come down and pick it up after work.

Gold Grovers, MOP inlay on head, not bad I guess (although a bound head and neck sure would be nice on an $850 list guitar)


:wtc: Got a feeling this won't sound too nice.


Oh and I'm no luthier, but I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a nut holding the pickguard on here.


This speaks volumes. The loving Epi badge is falling off before I can get the protective plastic off.


So in short, gently caress Epiphone. :smith: (making an exception I suppose for their cheap, easily modded tube amps :) )

I returned the Dot and ordered this instead.


Ibanez Artcore AS83

Should be here Monday or Tuesday, wish me luck. :unsmith:

This took me far far far too long I guess.

Are these too big? I hope they are not too big.

It was worth the wait. Very beautiful man, congratulations!

My Artcore finally arrived! Huzzah:



What's your take on it so far? I love mine so much. :guitar:

I've always been curious about this, do the fret inlays actually display something or is it a bunch of random color?

Short version: It's just random colors.
