Help with this guitar guys....

[metal head UK]

Can any of you knowledgeable people on this forum help me with this guitar I just picked up?

http://www.onlinerock.com/musicians/.../guitars.shtml

All I know is that it is a US made Epiphone Coronet with a set bound 24 fret neck with reverse headstock.

Anyone know what pickups are fitted to this, and what positions the pickup selector knob relate to?

Any info would be great.

Metal head,
I could be wrong, but I don't believe Epi made any USA guitars in the 90's. If it was made in the US, I'm sure Gibson would have their name all over it.

they actually dit make Epi's in the USA at that time (they even did a floyd equiped version of the coronet)
it's hard to tell the difference between the japanese, korean and usa version of your model
(only the usa had a floyd all others were hardtail) but the koreaan versions of that model that I saw all had the badwing headstock and not the reversed explorer

American made ones were stamped "Made in Nashville" on the back of the headstock, which you will see if they had a shot of the back.........

I thought the pickups on those were supposed to be covered OBL (Original Bill Lawrence). But maybe I'm thinking of a different model. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Sweet guitar, though!! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
