Re: pics of your custom
The first cousins - the Gibson is a 2010 '57 VOS, the Epi (2007) speaks for itself - they are within 4 ounces of each other and a very similar neck feel and action...although the Epi could probably do with some experimentation on wiring and pickups

Re: pics of your custom
Mine's an '83 with chrome hardware, in action from a show in March. Speed knobs and black pickup switch tip by me...Question to the group: How many chrome vs. gold hardware were produced?

Not as many as those with gold, but it was an option in the late '70s-early '80s... They are currently making a chrome hardware Custom that is Guitar Splinter exclusive. That includes Musician's Enemy and the couple of other online dealers affiliated with GC. |

Thanks.  I named that one Tammy Faye, for obvious reasons, but it is a fine guitar. The pup covers and black reflector knobs had to go, but that one has been through a few guises...This being one of them..  Yes, that is the same guitar.  It looks better with more black.
