Yeah, and a set of real EMGs in it would rule!! I've got one chrome 81 and a black 81 lying around that would be bad-ass in that one! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I love the Schenker V. I wonder though if there is a place where I can find the reverse pickgaurd and install it on it.
Then it will be totally kick ass.

The Dean is just to damn expensive.

Re: New Epiphones (fans of Schenker, Sykes and Wyl

I have played a few Epiphones and the quality is actually quite good. The hardware and the electronics are definitely of lower quality, but those are the only major differences. Hey, wood is wood, and they are mahogany and maple just like the Gibby's. No binding over fret ends, and most don't come with a case. My master plan is to buy one of these on the cheap, and swap out some of the hardware and the pickups, and then fret work if necessary. Super cheap, but high quality. These things get a bad rap, overall.

[/ QUOTE ]Do the Epi Customs have maple tops now? That was the only model I really ever thought of getting, but they had alder tops.
