Epiphone Frampton Custom

[Capo Dei Capi]

A photo of mine, for comparison. Its hard to imagine quality being much better.
The Gibson ones must out of this world.

I am sure most of you know Peter is going out on his farewell tour this June. I am going to the show in Chicago. I bought the "Show Me The Way" package. It includes a post show meet and greet. It also includes a signed guitar. I haven't been able to get any details on what kind of guitar you receive. I will keep you posted.

Here is the guitar that I am told is coming with the Peter Frampton Show Me The Way package. Supposed to have a special pickguard. Not clear which finish but would guess they would go with black. I like the tobacco...

Is that a headstock break?

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

I love my P.F, great guitar. Ebony fretboard, long neck tenon. Plays wonderfully.

Quality is pretty spot on as well.

Why is the headstock paint so beaten up? Finish crack only at the first fret? My '55 is still completely unmarked at 3 years old...

that's case lint the headstock has no marks or scratches

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

My one came a bit dusty right out of the box as well. I think its just factory dust from when it was left sitting.

Keep us updated.

This is a fracture. When the finish does strip this way it’s usually a trauma. Might be only superficial tho, but doesn't look too good.

Gibson seems to think it's the beginning of a fretboard separation and want it sent to the factory for evaluation. Should I?

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

You might get a new guitar out of it.

I presume this was a new guitar that you only played once and then it sat, correct?

Bought brand new,Plugged it in and played at home one time the rest of time it stays in the case

I just hope I don't get the "it's not covered" and lose shipping charges twice

This is a possibility yes, since it can be diagnosed as trauma caused by dropping the case with the guitar inside (which is pretty typical cause for this kind of fracture).

Do you have same crack on the other side of the neck?

 

[gcbike]

both sides starts at nut goes straight down binding

 

[PierM]

I have to ask....Did you changed nut?

 

[gcbike]

No and haven't changed the strings.I thought the nut looked funky out of the box
