Wow, nice collection of axes! I am currently at just one acoustic, but hoping to add my first 330 in FG if I find one soon!

Welcome Mark!

Interesting! Out of professional curiosity: in which year was it produced, and where?

Sorry for the delay in a response.

She's a 1966 Wilshire which came out of the Kalamazoo MI plant.
An Aquarius who digs Tom Petty, REM, The Byrds and long slow string changes.
She sounds amazing and comes with a little bit of a pedigree...
Epi was a gift from my parents for my 13th birthday and my 1st "real" guitar. They bought it from Ralph Neilsen's Music City in Rockford, IL back in the early 70's before there was such a thing as vintage guitars. Ralph Neilsen is late father of Rick Neilsen, Cheap Trick's guitarist and one of rock and roll's finest songwriters. Epi was previously owned and played by Rick before Cheap Trick became famous.

Cool guitar with a good history, Mark!

Be very proud and keep an eye on her, as there won't be any 12-strings from Epiphone like that anytime soon (neither a 12-string Riviera - meh!)
