Silk Pursing a Sows Ear (Epiphone Content)

I've had an old Epi Sheraton sitting around for a few years. Nice guitar, but needed some help. Here is a clip after replacing most everything. Pickups, bridge, tailpiece etc etc.....

Let me know what you think...

Sounds great!

Thanks for the comments.

FWIW, that was recorded direct. Guitar into Focusrite Saffire.

I am pretty happy with the guitar now. New pickups are Gibson 57 in neck and 57+ in bridge. I wanted to use Hovland caps, but my source was out of stock and ended up using 715's.

Darn! I woulda liked to have heard it thru one of those amps you build! I played thru one at Scott Lerner's house a while back. Sounded awfully good...

Guitar sounds nice for DI. My experience is that humbuckers usually need a variable impedance input to really sound nice going direct.

I willl probably record it again later this week with a 100W SOD II that is in final testing.

Yeah, I was really surprised on the DI recording.
