Hi Folks,I work for General Motors in Oshawa Ontario as a Team Leader and I am six months away from retirement........(I can,t believe it).I guess I,m gonna have a lot more time for playin and jammin and pickin and grinnin and.......well you get my drift I think, it,s been a long and fruitful road so far and theres still a ways to go yet .Best to you all....eppy3!

Hi folks, My players are an Epiphone Casino blonde,an Epiphone,acoustic/electric masterbuilt jumbo,and a Epiphone Les Paul studio, (hence the name eppy3). I also have An old Hohner 12 string and a Norman hummingbird 12 string.  I,ve got 2 old sixties Japanese solidbody electrics in mint shape that are tuned open, one in G and one in D for slide and a Fender acoustic six string known as a Capistrano that still plays okay even with a lot of miles on it.And I,ve got one old Aria hollow body that I,m rebuilding. Ya gotta love guitars!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for your response and do I feel like a fool! After reading what you all wrote I got out my dental mirror and had a good look inside. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a pouch inside toward the neck with a velcro flap and two wires leading out of it and inside the pouch......a nine volt battery!!!!!! I had no idea this was inside of my guitar as this is my first acoustic/electric guitar. So, in closing I thank you again for all of your responses and I owe you one!    Eppy3

Hi folks! This is my first post.I recently purchased an acoustic/electric Epiphone Masterbuilt jumbo guitar which sounds and plays absolutely incredible. Allthough the plug in jack seemed a tad tight I figured this would loosen with use.It hasn,t. About two months ago I plugged in and as things usually go,nothing came through the amplifier.So, before I take this guitar to the shop does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem with my guitar? The amplifier checks out fine as I have other guitars. The pick-up in the Epiphone is a Baggs Element pick-up system,I suspect this is a under the bridge mounted unit and the volume control is a sound hole mounted unit.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Eppy3.
