Members Lobsterbush Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 Opinions? I believe I have read good things on here about them. Talking to a local guy on CL selling one made in 2000. Been looking for a P90 guitar and this popped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lobsterbush Posted February 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks guys gonna check it out tomorrow evening hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kirs Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks guys gonna check it out tomorrow evening hopefully. Make sure it's Korean made with Grover tuners. The ones from late 90's, early 2000's had plastic tuners and cheapo hardware. What's he charging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lobsterbush Posted February 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 Says it was made in the Korean custom shop. With a gaurdian hardshell case with built in hygrometer he is asking 300. He seems to be in need of cash pretty bad so I can probably get it for less. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to Gibson/Epiphone, I've always been more of a fender guy but have been gassing for an LP with P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the advert (based on your location). Looks like it's the pre-2003 Korean model. If it plays good, $300 sounds like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lobsterbush Posted February 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 We decided to meet saturday morning. Hopefully if all is well I will be posting my first NGD since I've been posting on here. Really hoping all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cavpilot Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 That guitar is worth every bit of $300. (voice of a very satisfied owner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I'd offer to meet the guy on friday at 7 in the morning before he goes to work just to make sure he doesn't sell it between now and saturday.

He said I am the only one that has showed real intrest in the guitar. Said Saturday would be better for him, I'm fine with it too. Looks like I will be having a NGD.

Members GASSER Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 Definitely a good deal. I have one of the recent Chinese ones and it's great. The Korean ones are even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flatheadpete Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 I want one bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kirs Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have a 2004 Korean. Really good guitars. It's the best LP that Epiphone has to offer by far. For one, you absolutely do not have to (or want to) swap the pickups out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Riffer Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 That is a good price if the guitar is in good shape. I had one, sold it to fund a needed piece of equipment. I regret selling it to this day. I liked everything about it. As kirs stated, the pickups are great sounding, I loved them. I hope you get it, I think you'll enjoy it.

Members pekelnik Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 I played one in a store in about '05 or '06. It was really bad, the gold was all over the binding and there was even a drop on the fretboard (no idea how can that happen). Played quite bad too but that could have been a setup issue. That said this seems to be a totally different guitar apart from looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funkwire Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 As always, check it out, but that sounds like a great deal. I love mine, even though it's supposed to be crappy (made in China in 2005). It's got the 60s neck with nice big frets. I bought it used for $431 with Fralin P-90s and an SKB case and still think I got a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass :poke: The Epiphone Les Paul '56 Goldtop Electric Guitar recreates an early Gibson classic with all the looks, sound, and feel that made it one of the most loved guitars ever.
