Epiphone Sorrento 1996 Killer Orange, Korea made...super killer case

Wonderfully clean classic from Epiphone's Korea plant, made in 1996. Narrow, fast neck, screaming P-90's ( inside story to those who are truly interested...). Very Good to Excellent condition, no issues at all. Original pick guard removed, but included. Original three way included, but replaced with Switchcraft model. Sweet, mean sounding to clean and jazzy. Ships in totally cool, discontinued RockCase hard case, worth a pretty penny by itself.

Guitar = s'ok...

[Aahzz]

It's not an abomination, but I still don't like it. The case is cool.

 

[reverend1]

Not the worst Epiphone I have ever seen. Still an Epiphone though.

 

[yabba]

that's pretty hot. I wish it had a bigsby

 

[Modern Saint]

I dig the case!

 

[Chad]

Its ok. The case is terrible.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Not my kind of thing.

 

[bsman]

If I want a Gretsch, I will buy a Gretsch. Not really interested in an EpiGretsch. I do agree the case is tits.

 

[Tig]

I'd enjoy that.

Its ok. The case is terrible.

What if i screw a tort guard to the front of the case?

What if you screw a tort guard to the front of a double humbucker, hardtail, LPB Reverend?

How do you feel about a blocked trem?

I have a bias against Wilkinsons due to my previous bad experience.

 

[jp_nyc]

I like it.

I'm surprised you had a bad experience, they have been nothing short of rock solid for me.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

I didn't like how it felt, how the set screw held (or failed to hold) the arm in, and the intonation hex screws kept backing out. Fortunately, at the time, GC was selling Laguna guitars with Wilkinsons that all had hex screws backing out of them, so I was able to get new ones when I lost the old ones by stealing them from display guitars.

Wow, I don't know if there are different quality levels in their product line, but I have never experienced any of those problems. I can promise you those things won't be an issue. It's by far my favorite trem system.
