It's gotta' be an optical illusion.quick question does your guitar appear to be smaller because of it being black or is it the 3 pickups? Even my wife said it looked smaller, Are we trippin hear?
The binding channel is cut a bit deeper to allow for the 7-layer binding on the Custom, so that does reduce the area of the black.I appreciate that information CB91710 Thanks.
Maybe it is an illusion but my 1st thought when my wife said it looks smaller was damn I thought that myself.
I guess I just opened myself up to be riddled with that statement above
HAHA!Ha I'm just seeing what you are showing in the pic, I'm looking at the pics saying his meter screen is cutoff. I thought you were trying to show something on the fluke. I finally seen the binding, man I got to get my eyes checked. One of those pics where the fluke in forefront took my attention away from what's really going on. I see what your saying on binding, that could be something to do with it.
Do tell where you ordered the 59? I was looking myself and could only find a couple on Reverb.I ordered an Epiphone 59 instead. The 59 has Gibson burstbuckers which I really like.
I ordered from sweetwater, but I guess it's on guitar center website now.Do tell where you ordered the 59? I was looking myself and could only find a couple on Reverb.
We still talking about the guitar??I appreciate that information CB91710 Thanks.

I want one because I love the look of Black Beauties and this is special, Epiphone have done these before, but not with the ebony fretboard, the aged binding and other things which will help it hold its value if not increase it. Long neck tenon could also be desirable, but then again Epiphone seem to have a lot of desirable guitars these days.Don't get too caught up on all this "limited" stuff man. Anything limited is just a marketing gimmick. There will be plenty of other "limited" releases in the future with better products. Buy and keep guitars that you like, not because they are limited. If you are even questioning whether you should keep this JB BB, then you probably don't really want it. Don't keep it just because it's selling out. These companies are brainwashing people into thinking you can't live without it if it sells out.
Right?, insert foot in mouth or maybe I'll just stop now!!We still talking about the guitar??
HAH! Yeah I know. I've gotten caught up in always trying to get the latest and greatest. I would totally end up broke if I did that. I'm getting good at not keeping too much for myself now. Funny thing is that I never play shows anymore like when I was younger, but I still want great gear just in case!@ wjlim22 Your correct when it comes to me, I've said from the beginning I got taken in by the JB video and just bought it without any thoughts. I already have 5 electrics, 2 which are really the only ones I play 16 gibson standard and 77 Greco Sa-900.
I have been saying I need to sell gear because it causes anxiety not using them. But I must say that 59 Epiphone Dark burst looks Sick!!!
I'm not usually a guy that buys collector or limited gear, I'd rather have 1 or 2 guitars and have a bunch of amps which I do, love amps. But to be fair this Joe B Black Beauty is a lot of guitar for the money and I'd be a liar every time I go to return it I procrastinate. Crazy thing is I'm not even playing it, played it once. But I agree if I bought everything that looked cool and somebody made sound amazing in a video I'd be poor and divorced.
Most of the week I play my 16 Hd28, just because it's so fun and weeks are busy, but when my wife still at work I can't resist cranking em up. What color did you order?
Where did you get these, what part number?
