It seems Gibson has pulled the AAA top exclusives from their site... would be curious if it was due to Dealer complaints! If you ordered one - keep the order page, maybe that'll become a collectible one day haha

[Gordanovich]

If there comes an Epiphone version of the Lzzy Hale Firesplorer I might be tempted... but I already have her white Epi Explorer. I would rather spend my money upgrading that.

[Drawmack]

It's so cool that they gave Dave Mustain a signature acoustic. Next I hoping for the Lars Ulrich signature firebird I mean it makes just as much sense.

[semdallinga]

My guess as of why the silver V is called “Rust in Peace”, would be that back in those days Dave was known to use pretty much only his silver Jackson King V.
By far his most famous guitar

All epiphone custom produced now have the big dimond, some of the dealer sites still have pictures of the old smaller dimond.
Just ask if the dealer has the newer with the big dimond or if it is the early ones with the new head but still small dimond.
We all want a big dimond:)

[sassycat]

If I *had* to choose, I guess I'd try the red Explorer.

[lopezomoza]

The music group Mana is not Spanish... It's a Mexican pop rock group from the 80's and 90's. Sergio is from Mexico City and now lives in Aguascalientes (which Trogly knows about after the Snakepit story)

Epiphone Jerry Cantrell LP is $1150CAD in Canada, costs $20 more than the Gibson pickup equipped Epi 59 Standard Outfit, while Jerry Cantrell Les Paul Custom Prophecy Outfit is $1550CAD, same price as Gibson LP Tributes and $300 more than LP Special Tributes. Overseas made fancy Signature Epis versus US made plain jane Gibsons, you have to be a true fan to make that choice, either way it goes.

[nathanielvargas]

Please, please let there be a new Firebird

[sgt.grinch]

Trogly can you take a look at Slick Guitars. They seem interesting.

Red Explorer. Is my favourite in this series.
Man, an acoustic with an artist signed sticker in the soundhole is a bit of a ripoff imho.

[agatone]

Great new models, thanks for the update. BTW, Maná is a Mexican band, not Spanish. I am sure the Mexicans and Spaniards don't appreciate the confusion 😉

[spencerd]

I also saw a recent video from Gibson where Emily Wolfe is playing a white version of her signature diamond-sound-hole Sheraton… another possible future release?

[michaelsmith]

850 seems a bit expensive for the Cantrell considering what you got with the Lifeson for 899 - piezo and Floyd...?

[jjbast]

What bothers me about Setgio's signature guitar, is that he always plays s-type and double cut Fender, Suhr, PRS (Santana's song), and eventually Les Pauls. Not sure why he'd get a signature, and especially this one.

[wiganfan]

I want a firebird body with an explorer neck, flame top, custom binding, EMG's, Floyd Rose, gold hardware, finished in heritage cherry sunburst

[zigzagrz]

You completely missed the adam jones V when you first when to Cesar's page. You did mention it at another smaller pic but the first one showed it clearer. At 8:16

[sonijam]

Love the fret markers on that white Jerry Cantrell Epiphone!

[bryonkidder]

Still waiting for the
Charlie Starr, of
Blackberry Smoke,
Signature Series Gibson....

epiphone slowly but surely entering a price territory where i dont see them do so well. i mean 850$ can already buy some vintage tokais, add a little more cash and you can for sure get made in japan 80s tokais that are in a whole different league then epiphone...
