Anyone seen one of these? Just bought it (from music shop), and want to know if was built this way, or modified along the way. Looks as if it has had a bit of a hard life, but sound is great. The Bigsby has Epiphone written on it. Shape is stylised 'E' as in Epiphone.

Thanks,Trev

Hello again...
I´ve tried the Les Paul Axcess now and you LOOSE sustain with the floyd rose bridge but not to much so it´s still a wonderfull guitar.
The floyd rose gives the Les Paul a little bit more raw egdie sound...
Wonderfull guitar, to expensive thoug

Are those Cross Inlays stickers?

BCnSTL · 01-19-2009, 06:49 PM

Regarding the Les Trem Tremolo - can you put the guitar in a case with one of those? Looks doubtful.

BCnSTL · 01-19-2009, 06:50 PM

BTW - I had a stetsbar (stetsbar.com) on my Epi LP and I hated it, fwiw. Uneven up/down action - not remotely useful for gentle vibrato type usage.

Duster340 · 01-19-2009, 07:56 PM

Here is my Epi Studio with a Washburn Wonderbar on it.

I didn't want to do any routing so I found the plat that just bolts it on.

captain tightpants · 01-19-2009, 08:03 PM

Where the hell did you dig up a Wonderbar?

Duster340 · 01-19-2009, 08:12 PM

e-Bay of course. The Wonderbar isn't the hard part, the plate that allows you to bolt it to the guitar without routing is the most difficult thing to find. Wonderbars pop up on e-Bay all the time.

bigdaddy496 · 01-20-2009, 06:07 PM

is it push pull?

I removed the trem to clean it recently and it was as heavy as a brick, so it's got a LOT of mass.

I'm just about to do a build and mine will have an 80's kahler 2200 in it too. I like em' and hell I only payed $50 for mine!

Deftone · 01-29-2009, 02:14 PM

My Floyd LP sustaines better than my hardtail models. It came with a Gibson Licensed Floyd, but I put in an original Floyd.

alexvdl · 01-29-2009, 09:24 PM

The gibson floyd is a Schaller and OFR is also made by schaller. IMO there was no need to replace yours unless it was all beaten up

It was....rusty and beat. The paint was worn through under the forearm and below the hingh E string on the top. This guitar had seen some serious playing time from a very sweaty person. Plus the guitar is black and all the hardware was black, including the passive Gibson EMG style pickups. It was very ugly. Now everything is chrome on black, it looks fantastic and plays even better.

alexvdl · 01-31-2009, 11:03 AM

Cool dude!! Please post some pics

Deftone · 01-31-2009, 12:21 PM

Sorry for the crappy photos.

Torren61 · 02-01-2009, 08:18 AM

Stetsbar is a small company that sells a trem for LPs with no routing and no mods to the body whatsoever. Just remove the stop and bridge and it fits right in. About $300 if I remember right.

Torren61 · 02-01-2009, 08:18 AM

AND made in USA.

purevilpleasure · 02-06-2009, 03:36 PM

Thanks guys......as soon as i seen it in pics i had to buy it, than when i went and saw it in person......that was game over, her name is Judith and the only thing i would change on it is put a roller bridge and a new nut on it, other than that it's a great player and a looker, a korean epi. Here's another pic with her brother.
