For years I've owned an acoustic electric (a Yamaha APX-4A, which is a fantastic instrument in its own right), and added an Ibanez bass about 10 years ago. But I've really just wanted an electric guitar - something that looks amazing and sounds fantastic.

Well, today I pulled the trigger on a Gibson/Epiphone Emperor Swingster (in White Royale)! I'm pretty excited about this, as I always imagined my first electric would be a hollow body. It's got a parallel/series wiring scheme (which is switchable with push/pull knobs), humbuckers with classic Alnico V magnets, enamel wire, and overwound coils, and a Bigsby licensed B30 tremolo with original style wire handle.

I dig it's sound, and just as importantly (IMHO) it's absolutely gorgeous to looks at!

Anyway, just had to share. :puf_bigsmile: :puf_wink:

Back on topic:
Should your guitar fall off a cliff during the drunken trip to the canyon, I will help with 10 percent of the cost of the guitar as per the usual recommendation liability fee.

Nice! I've been playing my electric guitar (and bass) a lot with Rocksmith lately. And I'm having a blast doing it. Playing a game and learning to play at the same time.

Nice guitar (axe) EnochLight! :-) I have an Epiphone Sheraton and I love it! I also have a Yamaha CPX 900 and I think it's an amazing guitar as well!
