Epiphone Dot, upgraded hardware, Monty's PAFs & 50s wiring loom.

It's a really nice guitar now.

Always thought they looked best in black

1967 ES-345 in faded sparking burgundy metallic. Camera makes it look darker- not sure how to embed!

Ooh nice!

Oh my, that is amazing. Is that an original finish they offered? I’ve never seen anything like it.

first, thanks @Neilybob and @lovestrat74 for embedding!

yep, sparkling burgundy came around the mid 60s i think, mines faded a lot though, much lighter in real life. There's a fair few of these kicking about in the States, I saw 3 on my last trip!

That’s amazing. Everyday is a school day.

I’m not normally a fan of overly-flamey tops but for some reason the combo of this top/veneer, the burst, the inlays, and the gold hardware just do it for me with this Yamaha. It’s a seriously lovely thing.

Oozing sex appeal.

^ Sold a while ago. Was the cheapest way into Gibson's golden era at the time I bought it: £900. Bought from Loot (remember that?) when I was just searching for a P90 pickup. Big old '59 neck together with that neck joint meant I never really got to grips with it past the 12th fret. Sounded great and was very lively with a bit of amp gain.

^ Slim early '60s neck and PAFs = my sweet spot.

Sorry how much?? Mind you a Les Paul from 59 was almost affordable by comparison to now when I started playing. They were new mondeo money. Now it’s new supercar money for one isn’t it? Funny thing is I think both those ES are nicer looking guitars.

My Epiphone Emily Wolfe. Hardware swapped/upgraded, pickups swapped to Bare Knuckles, original input jack switched to a 3 way coil split (humbucking, bridge split, neck split), new input jack added on the bottom, frets fettled. All work carried out by @FelineGuitars.
