Bjorn Gelotte Signature Model is coming...

[Blood Tempest]

Hopefully when the day comes that I'm able to throw some cash at a guitar like this, they will be easily found

 

[Chiba666]

I am pretty sure they were EU only, never knew there was an Ltd version which is a shame.

I tihnk it was around the CC album cycle as I'm sure in the title track he plays it. Then he went back to GIbson and is now with cort.

 

[Triple-J]

We have pics!

BTW on the subject of the Jesper Stromblad sig it was available as a European ESP model only and that LTD version is just a prototype.

 

[Tesla]

Oh.

Okay.

 

[Zado]

Well it's.... normal

Gold EMGs are a touch though

 

[aesthyrian]

I love Bjorn, but that has to be the most stock "signature" model ever. The only reason to buy this over another Epiphone is the fact that Bjorn's name is attached to it, and it has the Jesterhead inlay on the headstock?

Booooooring. Very pointless IMO. If you have no desire to already purchase an Epiphone, than I have no clue why anyone would be interested in this. At all.

I'm waiting to see specs before I jump to conclusions. I'm wondering if it has different woods, scale length, or if it has chambering?

 

[Emperor Guillotine]

Well, I called it. Spot-on the money CALLED IT!

I've got some gold Grover locking tuners on hand.

The knobs look a little different compared to the regular black speed knobs. These appear to be the speed knob design but with the top-hat knob shape.

Is the fretboard ebony?

 

[Grand Moff Tim]

I still can't tell whether or not that's a flat top. If it is, the complaints about it being "stock" go right out the window. If it isn't... Then yeah, just put some EMGs in an Epi LPC and call it a day .

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Is the fretboard ebony?

Actually looks like it, to me.

I wasn't arguing with you at all ? I was just 100% convinced there was never an LTD. Thank you for providing pics, i guess these were EU only as well ?

You're both right.

There was an LTD model, but the only one ever made is a proto that was never released.

I'll pass....

 

[Mprinsje]

Is that just the picture not really showing it or is that a flat top? (would be weird considering the pickguard but still

 

[Andromalia]

Yup I think it is a flat top. Not that easy to say without reflections, but the area outlined by the pickguard reflect seems flat.

 

[Blood Tempest]

Looks like an ebony fretboard and a flat top to me as well. Definitely makes this a good bit different from your standard Epi LPC.

 

[asher]

Definitely looks flat top to me. Interesting.

[MoshJosh]

Is it just me or do the top and back almost look matte?

The top looks flat but it has a raised pick guard

Makes me think it's carved matte black top, and the matte finish is making it appear flat

 

[HurrDurr]

if that's a set of 57/66's, then it might be worth it for the right price. Bland or not, it's gonna slay.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Probably just the standard EMGs.
