    Why, you dirty, rotten...

    And you know how I am about the Epiphone SHeraton. Dang. "New Yawk" pickups and all.

    And just when I was going to sell all my stuff and give up playing.

    I know. I'm sorry.

    But remember, Kap'n set us straight.
    The real New York p'ups were single coils, and were on the 50's hollowbodies, and the very early (late 50's) Sheratons.

    In the 60's, the Rivieras had Gibson mini-HB's.


    Anyway, isn't this thing snazzy?
    The clean crunch clips are pretty enticing.

    Yeah, I saw that Hansen roundup in Guitar Player. I turned to the page where all those guitars were lined up for a photo, and I thought "DAMMIT!"

    I love it! The headstock is maybe a tad much, but absolutely seen worse!
