Classic quilt discontinued?

jlaw · 12-22-2007, 12:14 PM

At all the places I have been the classic quilts were on clearence,and on the GC and MF sites they are only listed as trans blue. Any info?

They were only available at MF and GC I think to begin with . So they should know, ask them.

*bump*

I wonder if it would be worth it for them to consider another run....these really are nice looking guitars...

(I can't help but wonder what a guitar like this might look like if it got "The Supreme" treatment)

uhhh, if they were actually out of phase i think it wouldn't help to swap the neck and make it the bridge pickup...

the pickups in the classics are awesome. they are ceramic and are supposed to be copies of the 498R/500T Gibsons. i like them.

The pickups in the epi classic are not ceramic! They are not copies 498r/500t , no such thing as a 498r only a 498t and its Alnico.

qwank · 02-24-2009, 10:26 AM

i meant 496R. you sure they arent ceramic?

Yeah they are alnico V Some say they are the same as the reg Classic alnico (covered) pups but I think not ,they have a different designation . same dc resistance. I have a GT classic and they are Alnico ,said so on the peel off sticker as well. IMO they are pretty good sounding pups.

qwank · 02-24-2009, 10:38 AM

they definatly sound better then the regular Epi pickups. i like them.

Yes I tend to think so . I think its the lack of the Brass cover and wax , that accounts for most the the difference IMO. Though I picked out and have a Epi standard that does or did sound very nice with the covered guys. GFS in it now.

In general though I agree ,the coverless ones used in the classic models do perform better.

oh, they also install those pickups in goth models and the 6 string side of the G1275.
