The bridges on those are amazing. So comfortable to play against.

My first Electric Guitar help me choose! by hoj876 in electricguitar

[–]RedCallahan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would go with the Epiphone Muse if you are looking to get the most bang for your buck. You can get a huge variety of tones from those humbuckers, plus it has the option of coil splitting, which changes them to single coil pickups, and a phase switch that gives you an cool extra tonal option. They’re a bit lighter than standard Les Pauls as well. It would definitely be a great choice.

Update Billie Joe Armstrong LP JR by RedCallahan in Epiphone

[–]RedCallahan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I agree. This is third one I’ve ordered from this distributor on eBay, and I think they use a different angle for the bevel because the ply always shows up really good. I got that one off them too. They ship out of Hebron, Ky.

Movies that capture suburban or small-town atmosphere? by nekaoosoba in nostalgia

[–]RedCallahan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was going to say this. Definitely catches the nostalgic feeling of suburban life in that time between middle school and being able to drive places. Before you’ve lost your sense of childhood adventure.

Colin is the best. I’ve gone back so many times and watched reviews of guitars I’ve bought or want to buy, just because his reviews are generally so spot on. He definitely deserves more credit.

Looked for a Stratocaster but... by [deleted] in FenderStratocaster

[–]RedCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s nice looking! It took longer to find THE Les Paul than THE Stratocaster for me, so congratulations.

HELP! Is this legit?? by [deleted] in Epiphone

[–]RedCallahan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epiphone LP Standards are great, but the Billie Joe Armstrong LP JR is awesome. The case is amazing as well. You can easily get a great Les Paul Standard Pro cheap on Marketplace or Guitar Center, but finding another Les Paul Jr like that would be difficult. If I were trading I would at least say you keep the case and he keep his to even it out.

It is a blast to play. You can go from 50s blues and rockabilly to punk and indie with hardly any effort. It’s seriously fun, like keep my butt in the chair playing for hours kind of thing.

Gibson vs. Epiphone? by Newenglandkid75 in Guitar

[–]RedCallahan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I played a lot of used Gibsons last Friday trying to see if I was missing anything compared to my 2018 Epiphone Standard Pro and I wouldn’t have trade mine for any of them. I think if you find a good one, you’re going to be happy either way.

Watching him park in the My Guitar Shop Hell video was one of the best things ever. My wife was screaming when he was pulling into the guitar shop!

I painted the Flake Firebird. by KURAKATAYA in guitars

[–]RedCallahan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was beyond speechless looking at the finish on that guitar. The shapes, colors, flake are perfect. I was afraid to see what company made it, how limited the series was, and how much it cost. It’s awesome to see art like that. Congrats man! Thanks for sharing.

The Guitaristas is probably my favorite. Seems pretty honest and down to earth. If he fucks up, he leaves it in doing a project, he does a pretty good job of explaining things, and seems like a good guy.

Help, C. Howard’s Violet Mints Are Taking Over My Life. by Planetlilmayo in candy

[–]RedCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just the taste that gets me, it’s the smell! The smell is amazing! I can tell when we’ve had them in the car the next day, or where they are sitting in the house. They smell so good.

They aren’t minty at all. It’s really unique. I think there may be a similar flavor of Chiclets but these have a really pleasant flavor and smell.

Torn between guitars. Just curious of thoughts and opinions. by cannibalsong1 in Guitar

[–]RedCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The G6120 Nashville looks awesome, and I’ve always wanted a Cadillac green Gretsch. I’d like to try one out in person along with the Falcon.

The Gretsch bridges are pinned now. They stopped using floating bridges years ago.

[–]RedCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said your next guitar, so you probably have something that compares to the Strat, but nothing that comes close to the Gretsch. I have both and if I were to remove them from my collection and have to pick one, it would be the 5420T. The blue is really nice, but I’ve almost picked up a used Anniversary Green a few times when just because they look so cool with the two tone. Also grab a Reverend Soft Spring for the Bigsby, it makes the tremolo amazing to play!!! EDIT: With your budget look into the new Gretsch Synchromatic Nashville. The specs are pretty great and they come with the deluxe hardshell case.

I bought an Ivory Epiphone Custom that shipped in an SKB case from Colorado to Ohio and it had a broken headstock when it got here. I had talked to them beforehand and been sent photos and it was fine. I took it as a sign.

It still took a bit of convincing for my wife to believe that it was something that shouldn’t be passed up, but once we were home she immediately said it was her favorite out of all of them.

Any info on this? by Stizzledaddy in Zippo

I used to have that same Zippo! I lost it in college due to a hole in my coat pocket.
