Would appear so, so does the blue one next to it.

1970's Epiphone EA-250 trans red

Everything is original except the pots, they were all shot, and pickguard, I couldn't find an original so I am using an ES-335 one

Nice, I'm a big fan of the epiphone: here's mine (1994 not vintage but I like it)

I will post some pictures in better light soon and maybe post an audio demo

cool, love those old matsumoku epiphones (also found branded under Aria, Univox and many others).

Itâ€™s a 1994 Riviera, with a GFS dream 90 (neck) and mean 90 (bridge)

it looked like this up until a couple of weeks ago:

That is a beaut. This reminds of the one the strokes use

Itâ€™s the same model and year as the dude from the strokes, but the idea for the pickup combination came after reading a post about Dotsâ€™ jaguar hh:

Unfortunately, no shortscales yet in my collection... they're just what I lust for

I'm a bassist, not a guitarist, but I do enjoy guitar as well.

My guitars -
Fender Aerodyne Telecaster (and Aerodyne Jazz Bass)

and a Godin Exit 22

How do you like the Aerodyne Jazz? I played a couple and they didn't quite do it for me, but it felt like with a little setup and a change of strings it would be pretty good. It felt something like the neck wasn't 'solid' enough. It didn't feel like it was going to snap or anything, just a bit lacking in power or something. Difficult to describe but both basses felt the same.

I love it. I find the neck pretty stable, but it is a light bass (basswood body), so that my contribute to it feeling less solid, perhaps? I find the neck nice and fast and it feels nice in the hand. I use DR Black beauties 45-105 and keep it well set up (to the best of my ability). I do find that I end up having to give the neck adjustments in the spring and early winter, though... it does flex a bit more than my Yamaha BBN5.

I plan on changing out the pickups with Seymour Duncan Vintage P and Hot Jazz pups, and the bridge to a Badass II.

Yeah, while it doesn't compare to my Telecaster, it does hold up well to a lot of other Fenders that I've played at nearly double the price point. This was my first 6-string guitar purchase

Love the quality of the woods at a low price. Godin are fantastic instruments.
