    Default Hi Folks!

    I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks but just got around to signing up.

    Nice place you have here.

    I'm expecting a new Epiphone ES-175 on Tuesday. I hope it lives up to the reviews. Planning a pickup swap too after getting a feel for what it sounds like out of the box.

    Welcome Michael, what kind of music do you play?

    Mid- to late '70's and 80's rock and pop. RUSH, Styx, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benetar, Men at Work, Nena, Jimmy Buffet, etc. Pretty wide variety really.

    I've got a new jazzbox arriving Tuesday so I'm going to experiment with some jazz. Never played it before so this will be a new thing for me.

    Played in a couple of rock bands in the '80's, I had fun and learned a lot. I was playing piano at the time though, I wasn't good enough on the guitar for a band. I filled in on a couple of tunes here and there, but I was mostly behind the keys.

    It's now in Des Moines, Iowa according to UPS.

    Will be here tomorrow around noon. Can't wait to examine it and then try it out. I sure hope that burst grows on me. I've never really been too fond of that design. I like solid colors mostly.

    I would have bought this in a nice wine red if they'd have offered it.

    Cool beans! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the 175.

    I think RoG has one.

    Welcome.
    I bought an old beat up Gibson ES-175 decades ago from a C&W player named Hillbilly Zetta... sounded very thick in a great & non-muddy way but I found it clumsy to play. Tailpiece kept grabbing my meat, (under my forearm.) I ended up trading it for a '78 Custom ES-335TD that I still have.
    If you flail like I do, buy an archer's forearm protector.
