Vintage Epiphone 70's MIJ Wilshire ET-290 DISASSEMBLE // IN OVER MY HEAD ON THIS GUITAR?!😗

[@nicappelhans224]

I just found one of these in its OHSC near Detroit last week. It’s weird, but I love it. Closet queen. Unmolested. Same color. No flaking on the gold, just gentle fading to chrome on high areas.

I’ve never seen a guitar with a neck set up like that, keep up the awesome stuff

Bought my et290n on 7-7-75 for $68.50. Still in very nice condition. Much less hardware corrosion. Had to replace the jack. It is weird to work on but still love it.

I have this exact guitar which I purchased last year. This model the was first guitar I ever bought back in 1976 which I sold (regretfully). The long tenon neck joint was also used in the 2020 Epiphone "1959 Les Paul Standard" Aged Dark Burst which I picked up this month. It is of course a set neck but the long joint is reportedly for improved resonance. Great video and well done on the clean up!

[@jackbixby1615]

Nice job John! Interesting neck joint! Makes me wonder how that effects tone. Sounds good and strong!

Off The Bench? series 👍 can't wait.

[@davegreeley]

I always love learning.

[@pedrofaria8146]

this wilshire was really worth doing this on the bench. never seen that kind of neck bolt as well pretty odd construction, loved it! now give us the silvertone review :)

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Thanks Pedro, Silvertone set on the way!

[@jeffholliday8304]

Sometimes when you take the neck off a guitar little chips would start coming off and then you have to shim the thing

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

I have been there before lol...... Great tip for the bench 👍

[@CitizenofMelee]

Weird, it's like a set neck, but you bolt it in instead of gluing it. The thing bothering me thought is the output jack placement.

[@dramaticstudios6970]

One Epiphone you guys MUST try out is the Epiphone Wilshire Phant o matic! It would be great if you guys had a look at it. Great vid guys! 😊

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Will have to check that out!

[@sidiox7857]

Ok that's really something

[@shotgunrebels]

Do more of these. Good stuff thanks.

[@SundayMatinee]

Nice guitar! Really has character and I like the tones. One tip: I believe your microphone is clipping on the recording. If you check your levels, you can record without clipping and then adjust the gain when you process the video.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Thanks! Yea I realized the issue was the lapel mic on my shirt was picking up the amp and clipping, I will fix this for next time. Thanks for watching

[@xstereofishx]

I have this guitar in my closet, paid 250 USD for it almost 10 years ago, am I lucky or what? :D

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

[@xstereofishx]
