Epiphone Newport - Cherry red and modified! - *SOLD* £360 Bournemouth

[knicknack]

So.... this is an Epiphone Newport but with some major tweaking to make it far more useable than the stock model.

 

I've had it completely gutted and re-wired with decent pots and wiring, which has really improved the usability of the bass. Set up as Vol/Vol/Tone (the blend control was useless), and most importantly reinstalled the bridge pickup in-phase, which bizarrely Epiphone still haven't changed, seemingly leaning into it as a feature rather than a bug. I've also lowered the neck pickup as it's overly strong magnets create the string buzz thats audible on many of the demo videos of these. More minor modifications include Gibson knobs and a custom black pickguard for that 60s EB-3 nostalgia. 

 

Collection/tryout welcome in Bournemouth, or can double box up for a courier. Any questions / offers please PM!
