    NGD x2: Epiphone Korina Flying V and Explorer

    As of last Thursday, I almost pulled the trigger on a Black Guard Explorer directly from Epi. Not sure if they are still in stock there.

    NGD x2: Epiphone Korina Flying V and Explorer

    Congrats! These are both tempting me too...I may have to sell something. How are the frets on these? Any dead spots, buzzing. I had to do a little bit of fret work on my Lazarus, which now plays wonderfully. Not quite Gibson low-action, smooth, but nice.

    Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Lazarus 1959 Les Paul Standard - new JB signature guitar

    Sounds fantastic! Great playing to bring out those creamy tones.

    NGD Lazarus

    I wrote that the veneer on the Lazarus (most that I've seen in person and on this forum) have a nice "depth" to it, not thickness. The illusion of depth. Most cheaper veneer guitars (not the those faked wallpaper guitars) still lack visually for me. There is a Guitar Center near me that had that...

    Sorry, I meant the thin Maple Veneer over the cap. Some veneers look like flat wallpaper. The veneer on the Lazarus has a really nice depth to it and the colors shift nicely in the light.

    There you go! Yes, mine is darker with a slightly more amber coloring as opposed to how they look online in photos for the most part. Maybe they want them to appear more "lemony."

    Looks like a killer top! And I agree with rbraad68, they are much nicer looking in person. Even though they have that very thin Maple Cap, there is a lot of depth and movement that you usually do not get with other Epi's I've picked up and played in music stores.

    That is a beauty of a top, AWESOME! Congrats.

    Is a 2007 Standard yay or nay? Tell me more about them please!

    They won't sell you the guitar? Seriously? What kind of candy-a business is that? You should post their name here...that is just WRONG and unethical IMO.

    Is a 2007 Standard yay or nay? Tell me more about them please!

    I purchased a 2004 Ebony Standard last fall at a Guitar Show. He had it listed at $1850, I offered $1700 and we agreed to $1750. It came with one of those Canadian made cases. It plays like a dream. The moment I sat there in the booth and played it acoustically, I knew it was a keeper. I cannot...

    Looking for Lazarus

    I really enjoy these Gibson Collections vids. I can watch them all day long. And Agnesi always has that kid in the candy shop look (as would I).

    The guitar is well-worth the original $899. And if it has a really nice top, it's should get a bit more. If you can get one under the original price, I'd grab it.

    NGD: 1959 Epiphone LP Aged Southern Fade Burst

    The Burst on this is a THOUSAND TIMES better than the current 59' Tobacco Burst. I love it. When did this release? And it's a special run?

    GC offering the 59's in lemon drop for 2022??

    I played one this past weekend at my local Guitar Center. $899. Both pickups appeared to be set up to their proper heights, yet the neck pickup was much louder than the bridge. And there was no more room to drop it down. The bridge pickup was close to the strings, not sure what the deal was with...

    NGD : JB Lazarus LP

    Thank you!

    Looking for Lazarus

    LOL...I'm with you! The ONLY reason I was thinking of selling, was to take the money and put it towards a new 2022 60's Les Paul Standard with a killer flame top. But it would be so cool to keep the Laz and just save up for that...one day! (I had a 1969 LP Deluxe Gold Top that was stolen from a...

    Looking for Lazarus

    Here's a pic of mine when from when I was going to sell...I'm definitely not doing it, at least for now, lol. My best friend came over the other night...it was the first time he got to see it in person and actually play it, and he loved it. So for now, it's a keeper.

    Looking for Lazarus

    You made yours into a Slash-type LP, nice! That is a stunner of a top. And you also did the polish...which I may do on mine. How did you get your fretboard so dark? I darkened mine with Lemon oil, it looks good, but yours looks REALLY dark.
