Epi Les Paul Hot Rod Flames, set neck, maple fretboard?

ptate · 10-09-2009, 09:56 AM

Hey,

Anyone know anything about a set neck, Epi Les Paul (ST LP?), Black with hot road flames, maple neck and fretboard, block markers?

Sure I've seen one befrore, but I can't find any more info. It definitely isn't a special, as the neck is set.

I don't know about an Epiphone with flames and maple neck/fretboard.
You don't mean the FlameKat, do you?

peter679 · 10-09-2009, 11:23 AM

I love the FlameKat! man I love it... I'm dieing for one! Actually that's exactly what I was thinking of too..

Yep, Guitarist from Sevendust. I used to want one of those pretty bad.

I would like the maple board, but I'm not sure I could rock the flames.

Maybe Albino Agiles then? They come in black and natural.

cmcoram · 10-11-2009, 05:13 PM

Yeah, I have been looking at the Albinos. Don't really need another LP style guitar. I'm more into multiple tones. Obviously I could mod it to split coils, or whatnot. But for the meantime, my Elitist LPC and my MIJ Strat handle most of what I have to do. The Digitech helps with the tones the axes can't create.

Hey ptate, did you find one, yet?
If not, member 'Annoying Twit' played one is a music store, yesterday. He's also in the UK. Maybe he can tell you where he found it.

Sorry guys

Best to send me a PM in cases like this. I don't look in all the different forums all the time.

I'm not an expert on guitars. I thought the Epi's fretboard felt nice, being glossy. I was playing the Epi after playing an ESP with a quite glossy feeling ebony fretboard which I quite liked. I wondered if the Epi might have a similar feel but be cheaper. I did like the glossy fingerboard, but feel that otherwise the guitar was not an improvement on my Vintage V100. I preferred the general feel and sound of the £1495 ESP to the £499 Epiphone. I don't think anyone will be too surprised about that.

It was on sale at Fair Deal Music in Birmingham, for £499.

That's why I told him your name and linked him to your thread, so he could send you a pm if he was interested in where you found that guitar.

ptate · 10-13-2009, 03:23 PM

Cheers Shifty and AT.

Bought one from a Cash Generator up here for an amazing £149...!!!!!!! Steal of the year at that price.

The axe is superb. It has a switchcraft toggle, full size pots/caps, Gibson USA pups and mahogany/solid maple flame top (you can see the flame throught the decal). Neck is quite slim when compared to my Gibsons, but it's a peach to shred on.

Just for the pups alone it was worth the price and it growls.

Astrokreep · 10-13-2009, 04:35 PM

Get us some more pics!

ptate · 10-14-2009, 12:34 AM

Not mine, but a load of pics for you to drool over..

Apparently, these were £700 when new......!!!
