I detest Gibson you see the New epi greeney $1500. [View all]

It’s a epiphone which is owned by Gibby a release of Peter Greens les with the neck humbucker flipped upside down and then out of phase in selector.

Years ago I discovered MIJ made in Japan guitars first one I bought was a 79 Tokai les Paul reborn supposedly clone of R8 off another soldier for couple hundred.

And today there is some truth and bullshit myth in the made in Japan markets. Some Japanese guitars are stellar instruments on their own and others just junk.

And over years I’ve collected other Japan Lester’s and strats because they were well below the greed prices yet impeccable in build and tone compared to Nashville or greed of Coronado.

Some of these guitars
Orville
Epi Japan
Tokai
Aria
Edwards
Navigators
Greco

Yet my favorite when it comes to a les Paul is Burny super grade and especially those super grades manufactured by Japan Dyna Gaki. My super grades would put Nashville Gibson to shame they should go Japan and learn quality and attention to detail Burny super grades stellar instruments.

I just found another DynaGaki super grade on line and I’m bidding on it. Why this line of super grade one long tenon and it’s apples and oranges long tenon medium tenon my preference


Who in the shit wouldn’t like to have a new les Paul American standard or fender American series yet they’re so overpriced because of the letter G or F on headstock. I have one Gibby standard 95 odd because it has long tenon and was done in nitro probably after market pro paint strip new paint then nitro it was consignment buy.

So today on way home from day trip we had stop at the Walmart of guitar stores guitar center why because sons girlfriend wanted go to marshals to look at Christmas decorations and Gc was in same stores and parking lot. I prefer mom pop stores yet today it’s reverb .com no more brick mortar store.

So my son goes look at this it was epi Peter green / Kirk Hamnet Greeney $1499 dam for epiphone. You can get same epi quality $500 less in buying the 59 reissues or used maybe $600.

While back I had a Vintage it’s U.K . company anyway I had this same idea of greeney clone vintage V100 lemon distressed come across my work bench I think they call it Vintage PMG is what dude told me.

He wanted replace bridge tail piece post all aftermarket tuners and for me to drop in these Dimarzio PAF new pots caps period late 50’s. Used I think he told me $450 brand new i think $800. Finish was great can’t remember what I know it wasn’t nitro yet after I well my one son and i got it completed it was tone beast.

Other week I upgraded Harley Benton sc 450 for young teen you know with upgrades humbuckers we’re sounding sweet in $225 used guitar mahogany body maple cap rosewood fret or maybe Indian rosewood can’t remember the specs on neck wood.

$1500 for clone of now Kirk hammets Greeney. Here is something think about google Eastman SB 59 nitro finish long tenon handmade out of china used $1500 range. Today players can’t afford American made they’ve priced us out.

Yet people are brainwashed they think just because my geetar has G or F on headstock made murica automatically makes them super player. Price tag don’t make you decent player just dyslexic bad punctuation rant but this is just corporate greed.

And I’m not getting the thread between Metallica new greenery owner they actually don’t give off the blues rock of Fleetwood Mac in Peter greens day.

Shit I need calm down relax with strawberry ice cream.
