my old faithful is an epiphone korina 58 v. its now loaded with a mule/stormy monday combo which sound great. i'm a bit scared to play it live now, i dragged it around with me for a long time with my red steinberger GP copy. now i have 'real' Vs and steinbergers, but i still think my cheap old copies are great guitars and they have a high level of sentimental value. i couldn't pimp them much more short of a refret, everythings been lovingly upgraded on them by now by feline or i.
