Sheesh. Just discovered this thread and spent about 45 minutes reading most of it. Feel like I know you guys already (sob).
For starters: my latest and most beloved. I've wanted a Gibson slope-shoulder for years. Played loads, couldn't afford most of 'em at the time, walked away from a couple I shouldn't have. Finally: this. 1958 Epiphone Texan. Pretty much a Gibson J-50, but being a first-year Texan it has a 'real' (ie. pre-Gibson) Epi neck, vee-shaped, slightly longer scale (this thread does have 'nerd' in the title... right?) It's woody and thumpy and bright all at the same time. Chuffed to bits. Playing it every day. Mo' later...
