Found the picture on my computer, downloaded and forgotten. Kind of pretty though ... Juha   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 11:43 am:    Nice chrome covered dog ear P-90s. I guess it will sound a lot like an Epiphone Riviera. The fretboard inlay is a lot like the Ibanez Artists and Artstars model numbers 120 and up. There is indeed an Eagle on the tailpiece, but it doesn't ring a bell to me. This: http://www.eagleguitars.com/about.php shows that there is indeed a link between Epiphone models and Eagle models. Produced in Inchon, so that's probably Cort, which would explain the fretboard inlays.

So if you combine the leftover necks/fretboards with the Epi designs you get something like you showed us. So, the most logical manufacturer is Samick. Did you save a pic of the back of the headstock and does it say "Sy0mxxxx"? because we see the same serial number build-up on Epiphones, Arias, Ibanezes made by Samick.

It must be something else. Ginger   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 7:02 pm:    It was just a guess. Headstock looks wrong too. -Chuck   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 7:55 pm:    Guys, don't loose your hair for this I knew it is not Washburn and I could make same kind of guess - seen something that resembles and ... you know It could be one of many low-cost brands but looks somehow charming in my eyes.
