New Epiphone Signature Models

earwighoney · April 2016

Details seem thin on the ground so far, but there seem to be some really interesting models.

A Paul Weller Casino, A JoBo Firebird I, and a Johnny A Signature. The latter seems to be the most interesting model, the CS Johnny A was supposed to be one of the best guitars they made. The obligatory JoBo seems an interesting one as well, a single pickup FB with through neck construction.

They all sound interesting but presumably will have oily finishes and generic necks.

If that's a proper firebird 1 for reasonable money then my Junior might get re-homed sooner than expected...

I'd also be very tempted.
However the cynical profiteer within would be inclined to wait until your next wave of pragmatism/life laundry took hold and snare yours when you inevitably sell it on...

Cheeky but fair as ever!

Lets see if Epiphone can actually get this Firebird right

€775, it'll have banjo tuners with 1963 neck profile. I reckon it might be a Epiphone repro of JoBo's 1963 FB.

Would love a Johnny A but they're $$$$$$$$ so hope Epi have come up with something nice

Specs indicate it's the same as the Gibson version! B70 Bigsby, 57's, Ebony f'board, figured maple top, Sunset Glow finish. €945 which isn't cheap, but a fraction of the CS Gibson!

Only 400 pieces worldwide, I'm really tempted by it...

@DrBob - all yours, I was hoping for a mini-hb / p90.

DrBob · April 2016

Are we not hopeful that a 'ProBird' Humbucker is in fact a mini ?

SteveRobinson · April 2016

The Paul Weller "Premium" Casino might be nice but it should be for £750.

A Joe Bonamassa signature guitar?

Who'd have thought it?

It's not like he has 3 Epiphone signatures already...

Paul Weller Casino... Yes please.

Time to start some FS threads I think.

Hmm, didn't consider that - I hope so!

Here's JB's '63:

Howdy, Stranger!
