What colour Pick are you going to purchase?
They come in all sorts of pretty colors and shapes.

Should keep us going here for another couple of months!

           Yes but for me I love that Natural wood so I'm going with that instead
           of Sunburst or Read or blue .
           Whats the best product to clean a rosewood fret board to keep it looking new?
           Heres the infomation on the guitar I picked out , NATURAL and its 7lbs 11 Oz's in
           total weight . There were three different model in the same color and each one
           weight differently , I took the middle of the three in weight .

THE NIGHT FOX

           Whats the best product to clean a rosewood fret board to keep it looking new?
              

Lemon Oil...for Fretboards..you can buy it at Guitar Center, etc...

I think your going to like that Epi 339 Night Fox.  I tried out a couple of them up at GC and I thought they played and sounded pretty good.  Like Bub, I like the Sheraton's too, but I wanted something with a different vibe than my Gibby LP, so I went for the Epi 335 Dot.  The Dot is more of a hollow body than the Sheraton.  I believe the Sheraton has a maple center block.

I really like the way the Dot plays.  I had a professional set up done on it right away, even though it sounded great right out of the box.  I had Gibson pick ups (57's) left over from another guitar sale, so I installed them in the Epi and now it is a REALLY great little rig.  I find myself playing it way more than the LP.  

The LP has a grittier flavor to it and the Dot a mellower sound.  Different flavors man.

If you're really enthusiastic about playing guitar then to be honest it doesn't really matter what guitar you have, as long as it's basically playable. I started out with the biggest heap of junk, a CSL Blazer (some cheap Japanese model that came with a practice amp that sounded like a bee with a chainsaw in a tobacco tin) and I rocked on that mo'fo for at least a year. It had stupidly high action yet within that year I'd learned most of the guitar solo's off of Kill Em All and a lot of Zeppelin. Of course I was chuffed to bits when I got hold of a better guitar but I loved playing guitar so much that really anything would've done.

Copy that.
Many of us started out on cheap guitars with horrendously high action. But we persevered.
That Epi should be a dream to play.
I've had my Epiphone Genesis for 30+ years, and she's a good'un.


ps. For the record, the only guns that have ever been in Beagle's house were mine, and they stayed in the garage..no ammo.

your guitar in tip top shape thanks !

          Thanks I think I made the right choice , it sounded nice when the sales guitar guy
          played it for me . Will your play acoustic sounds too or is it all electroic in sound ?
          That was one thing that really hooked me in , that plus the over all tone I sustain
          it has a built in tuner on one of the pickups . The other thing that I liked it has its
          own MIDI out plug jack where all you have to do is plug from the guitar straight
          into your computer & DAW for recording so that was really COOL !

          Yea back in the mid 90's I bought a cheap acoustic guitar from a music store
          and hated it after months of trying to play it thinking I would get used to
          playing it . It was too unplayable , so I gave up and said if I ever buy another
          one its going to be a decent electric not a acoustic because electric guitar
          are said to be easy on your fingers when playing chords and tend to be
          easier to play .
 
          As for guns I gave up my M-16 back in 1972 when I left Viet Nam for the States,
          too many guns in the wrong hands today and thats scary !

         Thats very much true its not the guitar its the person playing that is important !
         You can own the best guitar in the world but if you don't have the passion and
         skills to play great then you have wasted your money .
         The most important thing is it has to be playable and it has to stay in tune or else
         you'll lose interest in learning how to play a guitar .
 
          I think in a year or two I will do fine playing it , it should last me a lifetime I hope !
          After that recent heart attack on Christmas day last year the guitar my outlast me,
          if I do kick the bucket then my step grand kids will own some nice music gear .
