The Admiral Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) I'm reluctantly selling my Epi LP - here the blurb from my potential eBay listing - please PM me if interested. Cheers A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ An absolute classic design - the Les Paul - reissued by Epiphone in the Gold Top 1956 finish. I bought this guitar about 2 years ago after seeing Gary Moore in concert, and fancying some of that great LP P90 blues tone, but sadly I am so busy with my job, that I never get to play it - and it's actually been out of the Hiscox Lite Flite case (which is included in the sale) about 5 times since I've owned it. I really need to claim back some space at home, and reluctantly I'm therefore selling this guitar. I'm really torn about this, as I love the thing - but it should be played - and loved by a new owner! It was bought new, from my local Dawsons Music, and I have the original receipt for £349, plus £79 for the case. There were cheaper deals at the time,(and still are) but I wanted to buy a guitar that had been quality checked, not just posted out in a box, and this plays beautifully. I'm after £275 - which includes the flightcase - as I need to buy a new bass amp! This has P90 pickups - which are single coils - so you won't get that Jimmy Page/Slash humbucker growl - BUT - this is a fantastic and versatile guitar for Blues and Classic Rock. Also, this is the Korean made version, which is no longer available, and I am told that towards the end of this models shelf life, they moved production to China, and the quality dropped like a stone. This is an excellent guitar - fit, finish and playabilty. Sound I found a link on YouTube to a guy playing some solo stuff on exactly this model, which will give you an idea of the kind of tone available: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CJlDDckBqeo"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CJlDDckBqeo[/url] LP guitars are HEAVY - and this is no exception, and with the flightcase, this tips the scales at over 8kg. I am still investigating courier costs, and I would think about £30 - £35. However, I'm also willing to deliver within 30 miles of Manchester - fuel costs to be agreed - based on actual destination. Also, if you want to meet up 'half way' - that can also be discussed. This guitar is in fantastic condition - although I did notice when I was taking the pictures that there is the tiniest 'rub' on the edge of the headstock - which looks a lot worse (ironically) in the photograph - because it catches and reflects the light from the flash. I've never noticed this before and it really is very, very small - but - as my feedback suggests - I'm a very honest ebayer, so I'm being upfront about this. I'll happily take more pictures and answer any questions for interested parties Edited January 6, 2009 by The Admiral
Exile252 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Very nice looking guitar. Now need to think if I need another guitar or a new bass. Whats the sound compared to a humbuckered LP?
