Hola amigos estoy averiguando con un negocio que vende guitarras nuevas y es un lugar confiable y de renombre, por una Epiphone Ej160E, me enviaron foto del numero de serie y parece ser de Mayo 2025. Lo extraño es que después le consulte a chatGPT y me dice que se fabricaron hasta 2016, pero se que hubo una reedición en 2023. Alguno compro este modelo y me confirma si existe la versión 2025? No quisiera comprar una clon

Do they make locking tuners that drop right in matching these?

I’ve struggled to find any that are the same.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

This is a phenomenal guitar. I grabbed it from Sweetwater a while back as "open box", but the rep confirmed it wasn't a return, just had a scratch on the bridge from either packing or unpacking. Otherwise, there wasn't a mark on it.

I have a MIK standard that is highly regarded for an Epiphone, and this is definitely on another level. I played some Gibson LP Studios that were several hundred dollars more than this, and they were on par in my opinion. And this has nicer pickups, real MoP inlays, and a one-piece body. It's definitely a keeper.

Just got my replacement Epiphone IBG Hummingbird today! It feels amazing, sounds amazing and smells amazing! I can't keep my nose out of the sound hole 😂

My daughter turned 13 and all she wanted was her first guitar!

Lefty Epiphone SG Tribute in cherry burst. She couldn't be happier!

Tried one out today and fell in love. I've always wanted to try a grabber bass and honestly it was such a nice playing experience. I tried out the regular grabber and the Mike Dirnt G3 and the G3 was a far better to play and had a much wider range of sound.

The biggest downside for me is that I don't dig the silver burst or the dark fretboard as much. Like its not bad, i wouldn't regret owning it, but I adore the classic grabber bass look and would choose that hands down if it was available at the same price as the silver burst. However the natural doesnt seem to be available anywhere and is even sold out on the Gibson online store atm, though theres a "notify me when available" button so they might come back in stock.

The thing is theyre £1199 on gibsons website, natural or burst, but Guitar Guitar has the burst at £999 and they're as low as £700 second hand for the silver burst. I'm 100% gonna buy one either second hand or from guitar guitar cus the price is right but its weird that nowhere has the natural and that theyre all silver burst.

Its not the end of the world. I love how it plays and sounds so how it looks isnt as important, and it doesnt look bad it just doesn't scratch that itch quite the same for me and im curious why the classic look doesnt seem to be anywhere.

Anybody got this bass or found the natural out in the wild? How are you enjoying it so far?
