Members Henry Path Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 I have to confess I don't know much about LPs - can anyone tell me anything about how it sounds/plays? I assume it's a good neck for smallish hands, right? 24.75 scale, thin etc. Working out a deal with the guy selling it but obviously a bit more info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers [ATTACH=CONFIG]344595[/ATTACH] It was made in 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted April 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2012 The necks on Epis are average and not standardised in any ways if it's an older Korean one. Do you have a serial number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Henry Path Posted April 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Good idea. I'll ask. I've asked him about pickups also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Henry Path Posted April 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Actually, ad says made in Korea. What pups should I expect in there, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members meandi Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 I've got a chinese '56 goldtop reissue that I bought used. For the $'s invested, it's a great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members epi56ebony Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 My Epi 56 Goldtop is actually Black (Ebony) hence my screen name. It is one of the lightest guitars I own and the neck is not really that fat, more 60s than 50s. I really like the pickups and I also have small hands and the shorter scale does make it easier to play. I've now sold all of my Epiphone Les Pauls except for this one as I got it really cheap on MF closeout (299), I collect 56 reissued guitars and I actually really like playing this one. I actually like baseball necks like my nocaster and my Gibson 58 LP CS seems to work better for my hands, it seems odd with my smaller hands but it does. I'm actually more a fender guy but shorter scale necks are easier for me to play like my Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll most likely never get one cos of the necks/scale length. Unless I win the lottery and get an Anderson Cobra or something, ha ha! I've got a Washburn and the neck on that is 25.5 inch but it's so thin it's not a problem really. I've been playing over 20 years and I'm only just learning about this stuff now!
