I haven't played one in a long time, how heavy is your Epiphone, I know they are said to be neck heavy but changing the strap button to the heal cures that.
I`m confused
. I have a Silverburst Epi `bird,so which pups are in them?Off hand I`m not sure how much they weigh. I don`t have a bathroom scale any more and I don`t think my milligram scale is up to the task. It does neck dive some but a leather strap helps a lot. I bought the Epi `bird originally because I wanted to put a fender jazz neck on it and make a Fenderbird. But then I got lazy and every jazz neck that I liked cost more than I wanted to pay. One day I`ll have a sweet fenderbird!
What(if any) difference is there between the TB and TB Plus pups?
I have that "Heavy" shirt. Zac "Doom". He makes some good shirts.

Note: I also got the blue 'superchief' one and it didn't look so much like the pic in the site. The blue is dark, not much purple, and the print is dark so hard to see. The wizard one is cool though. I wish he'd use some actual photos in his site more than the cartoon pics.

I think I heard someone knocking the newest gen of My Little Pony. If you have a daughter you should be lucky that it's as good as it is. I can actually sit with my daughter and laugh at stuff.
I have twin 6yr olds and I gotta say, hands down, the best show I've seen is Phineas and Ferb. A couple of kids that build crazy stuff while they are on summer break. I've got myself watching it without them several times. They aren't quite into Adventure Time.....yet

The old epi classic T-birds are bolt on Adler. With shvt pups. The goth and silverburst ones are mahogany and bolt on as well with the same pups.
The new pro series classic T-birds have American made pups. Pretty good sounding. A bunch of people think they're Seymour Duncan. They're really close to a gibby tbird.

My understanding is, Tb and Tb plus pups are made over seas. The Gibson and epi pro classic T-birds have American made Tb plus CERAMIC pups. Those are much better sounding imo. Deeper, darker, cleaner sounding. Between the better pups and the neck through mahogany bodies the gibson and epi pro classic have way more character.
If you wanna upgrade the pups on on cheap bolt on epi bird there's plenty of options...

Whoever in this thread considers themselves a Brony, the exit is over there
I think I first read about all that crap on TB. I couldn't believe it was an actual thing. I tried watching a few episodes and I thought it was dumb as hell. To each their own, but no male who has hit puberty should be watching that show 
Yeah, Chowder is another good one! Dana Snyder, the voice actor for Master Shake on ATHF, does the voice of the mastodon guy on that show.

The man speaks the truth.
I was knocking it that Chicken Neck is a boy and wrapped up in my little pony and in public he gets excited in the toy aisle and yells my little pony lol
I wonder if Blake rolled up a turd in a dollar and put it out in the audience lol, BLAKE!!!
