But I’m sure a lot of players will do a double take when they see the price tag. Let’s be clear: this looks like a great guitar. Hardware consists of a Thinline Trapeze tailpiece, an ABR-1 bridge and set of Vintage Deluxe tuners. This guitar has a solid mahogany neck with a rounded C profile and a 12”-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard housing 22 medium jumbo frets and a Graph Tech nut. You can opt for one of two finishes, either Vintage Sunburst with black P-90s or a Royal Tan with nickel covered P-90s. It’s not actually old.Epiphone made-in-USA Casino in Vintage SunburstĪ lot of that extra money will probably go on the three-ply maple and poplar body with quarter-sawn spruce bracing and cream binding, finished in nitrocellulose lacquer. My son has a Gibson LP Studio Black/Gold, a Fender American Standard Strat HSS and a Kramer Pacer Vintage. Either way, my son will get a new guitar for his birthday.

There is also the 61 Epi SG that was still $899.00 with case. I may wind up just biting the bullet and getting one anyway. By the time you get to replacing pickups, it will cost more that the 59. It’s less than the 59’s, but by the time you buy a case, it just isn’t a bargain like the 59. The aged southern fade is still available at AMS/Zzounda for $849.00 still at the moment. I like it better than my not so old Gibson LP Tribute. I wanted to get the third color, just because I feel like these have the feel that I’ve been waiting for. The two that I just got have the best feeling necks I’ve ever had on a Les Paul.

I was going to get another one for me and one for my son in the same color, the cherry sunburst. Click to expand.I bought my two Epi 59 LP’s a couple of weeks ago.
