If there is one thing most of us on LTG have in common, it's seller's regret.Sold 'em both during the 1980s. What a fool: didn't realize what I had.
You forgot about ensuring one's properly licensed to operate multiple guitars.Without snark or anything, to answer the OP's question. Yes. The End.,
I'm not. Why should he be? Are you???You forgot about ensuring one's properly licensed to operate multiple guitars.
Unfortunately, this information is incorrect. As I mentioned above, what Gibson inherited when they bought Epiphone in 1957 were Epi’s ”New York” single-coil pickups (see the 1959 Emperor below). The first 1958 Sheraton received these Epi-made NY single-coil pickups, while the first 1958 ES-335 received the already developed full-size Gibson-made humbuckers. The supply of Epi-made NY pickups was depleted by the early ‘60s, at which time Gibson developed the mini-humbucker - just slightly smaller than the NY pickup and able to fit the same opening.Unbeknownst to many, the mini-humbucker design originated with Epiphone, with Gibson acquiring the rights and technology when its parent company, CMI, purchased Epiphone in 1957.
The mini-humbucker was the stock pickup of the original Epiphone Sheraton model. This feature set the Sheraton apart from Gibson's ES-335, which was spec'd with full-size humbuckers, as both guitars were developed concurrently in a joint Gibson/Epiphone project.
The mini-humbucker first became widely known to rock guitarists in 1968, when Gibson introduced it as the stock pickup of the new Les Paul Deluxe model. Interestingly, the only reason it was featured in the LP Deluxe was because Gibson had an overabundance of minis left over from Epiphone stock, and needed to find a use for them. The solution was to install them in Les Paul bodies that had originally been routed out for P90s, filling in the resulting gap with a specially made adapter ring.
I can't afford the insurance, even with a multiple policy discount. We should be in jail.I'm not. Why should he be? Are you???
C’mon, that’s not the rule.
The rule is one out; two in!
Yes actually, I think the rule is: none out, one in - repeat!There are rules?!
