When I got my VP, I did a google search on Epiphone serial numbers, and found out pretty quickly where and when.

Did you get the white “parts” VP? How’s that headstock break look?

It's repairable, When I got my BaCH the neck was in quite a bit worse shape and its in great shape now. The break is visible but workable for sure, not to worried about the visual part. as far as the VP? She will see play time in the future. As a matter of fact she has already been coined a name. Because she is dead in her current state, she will return from the ashes and henceforth will be call "Phoenix". Need to find a more appropriate PG now lol.

Having grown up in Alaska I totally understand those tremors, I never ever got used to them. Even the "small" 4's that shook me awake in the morning put a nervous scare in me I could never shake even to this day. I can't even imagine the one in 1964 shortly before I was born, registered at 9.2.

Ours here in SoCal are still happening, but not enough to notice. Knock on wood.

Love the design. But it’s a Ford. I’ve had one Ford. A Lincoln Navigator. Worst POS ever. Never ever again. I’d rather have an AMC.

During the times I lived in Cali. I never got use to it either. Was quite a strange thing to experience on a regular basis.

Don't know where you were at 8:41 but we just had a pretty dramatic tremor here in Pacifica. 3.6, epicenter 6 miles from me in Colma "City of the Dead". (yes, it shook the dead) Colma is called that because of huge acreage of land dedicated to cemeteries. Haven't felt a quake in quite a while and they are usually more of a 'nudge' - this was a dramatic rattler. (luckily short and not followed by more) Life in CA.

I have a friend who is a geologist. When I lived in Silicon Valley, she explained that there is such a network of faults all through the area that a quake in one area does not carry very far unless it is a big enough quake.



Also - I was away from my computer for a few days. [sarcasm] So nice that everyone noticed my absence... [/sarcasm] :)
