Epiphone for 2024

[Alanko]

I wouldn't trust any geometries to be faithfully reproduced on an image that potentially came from a smartphone or similar small device.

Not in this pic it ain't

It does look like the bridge is a tiny bit off in that pic, but the tailpiece is obviously farther off.

I printed the image from my desktop, aligned the print with the edge of a desk. ran a small t-square ruler across it.

To me it looks like the disallignments differ between pic 1 and pic 5, so I'd agree with both Rob, Dave and not to forget definitely Alan who probably solved the mystery.

If the geometries are distorted in the source image then no amount of analysis is going to get around that. Somebody is going to have to measure one of these basses in the flesh.

It would seem fitting that with the advent of Gibson prices for Epiphone instruments we start seeing Gibson factory errors in Epiphone instruments as well. Subtly erode quality and consistency while jacking the price. Fender MIM instruments seem to be in a similar low ebb just now.

I'm pretty it's just this one. all the other pics of the Inverness Green and Ember Red are mounted perfectly fine. Although the saddles seem to be maxed out to the front of the bridge.

Time for Badbird 2.0!

You have enough Thunderbirds, Mark.

You have enough Thunderbirds, Mark.

   

 Respectfully, no. There's at least one or two more that I really would like to have.

As you might know I've sent back my Gibson Nonrev in Inverness Green because of quality issues. I looked forward to see this one (as a press guy I saw the pics very early) but looking at the pictures more often I GAS for the silver one.....

There's one on it's way for a review!
