They were supposed to make a '64 Coronet reissue a couple years back but scrapped it.

Hopefully ain't more than £400.

Me too.

The guy complaining it looks too '50s though. That's the point!!

I wanted one like 10 years ago. I owned a 66 Wilshire reissue and came to a conclusion that I don't want a Coronet or any other guitar with a set neck anymore. If they had made it 8 years ago, I would've bought one. I'd buy a nice tele or a strat instead now.

Also modern Epiphone necks are thin, wide, balls sucking nuisances. Original pre 64 Coronets had fat C necks from what know, later batwing headstock Coronets/Wilshires/Crestwoods had thinner necks but nowhere as thin as was on my Wilshire. I contacted a guy long time ago who owned both and he said a reissue Wilshire neck was much thinner and much more uncomfortable to play than the original one.

If Epiphone puts a Slimtaper neck on a pre 64 Coronet it'll just adds bonus points to the first place it holds in my personal book in the category "Unplayable garbage that looks kinda beautiful"

The glue kills the tone. Everyone knows that.

It kills all the benefits of the toanwood


I don't know, I grew more negligent with the way I handle my guitars and also paranoid that I would break a $400 piece of glued together toanwood that after that would have a reselling value of firewood.

Only if you put the glue on your fingers.

Butter or nothing. How would it play like butter if you didn't put butter on your fingers?
