Jeez Chris I had to look to see if mine was still here. We seem to have look alike guitars. LOL

My guitar has a very definite flame to it. Other than that redeeming quality, the sunburst colour is evenly applied across the face of the guitar. It also has some other characteristics that are a little different from the new ones that I have seen. Mine has "deluxe" Kluson style tuners and black control plate covers. My TRC just simply says Gibson on it.

The Epiphone logo is inlaid MOP. But I suspect that is quite a bit more common.

I can send you some hi-res pics off-line if you wish.

Nope. I don't capitalize my name, and Dane doesn't capitalize his participation. Christopher finds it easier to be offended than to capitalize anything.

Note that I'm replying to Sheena's post.

And i don't capitalize "i" because given i'm see-in-my-profile years old and 5'1,5" feet tall i find it a bit arrogant to capitalize myself Image And i make many more mistakes, BTW...
Peace?..

I don't think any of us find you annoying, Dane.
A bit of comic relief is almost always welcome.

Sure Sheena, why not...let's 'give Peace a chance'...

I've had considerable trouble capitalizing on anything throughout my career (not counting that 4080 I sold last year)...

paul...are you quite sure we're not the same guy? How do you know that every night, when you think you're asleep, you don't transform into a hairy monster who leaves annoying posts on the Forum?

'Dr. Heckle and Mr. Snide'...at your cervix...

Peace, everybody. With a capital P.

Sheena, you can capitalize your I. You stand ten feet tall anyway.

With the 650C, 12 foot 10 inches.

How much is that in rubles?

Should I have capitalized Rubles?

Dane, do you wake up every morning with fistfuls of hair on your pillow? Look into the mirror if you do, and that's me.

Hmmmm. I have always noticed a strong resemblance; hair or no hair. So Dane you may be on to something with 'Dr. Heckle and Mr. Snide'.

LOL

BTW the day you start annoying me with your posts will be the same day that Martians land on the dark side of the moon to plan their invasion of Earth.

$1 = about 28 rubles... that said, should you capitalize rubles? You make your bet...
And, eh... my friends will be amazed at how "I" grew in no time... Image
Gee, i see it so clearly... Paul transforming into Dane, then back... the best movie i've ever seen!!!

PS: and some "intermedium" is sort of needed... somebody with either some hair, or just short hair... Image

Well it took some doing, but we've pulled 'er out of the ditch and back onto the asphalt once again. Nice driving everyone...

Kevin: thanks for the complimentary comparison...I've always been a big fan of both of these guys:
