i only change the finish of the Top beaucouse when i buy it was damaged.

This baby comes with a beautifull double binding on the headstock,
the Epiphone logo & the inlays are of a very nice abalone.

the fretboard have a really good binding on the sides and the finish quality is excelent inclusive on the end of the frets.

the fretboard is made of rosewood.

The neck joints to the body on the 19th fret, very easy to play in the last frets.

and double in the back

The pickups are the originals, the covers are in very well condition after 34 years of Rock and sweat...

Welcome to the forum! I am honeymooning with my 79 Std, and cannot wait to some day own a Custom model. These are great guitars.

10.5lbs with a sparkle finish? Man, that's impressive!

I enjoyed the single shot you placed in the Genesis thread and was thrilled to see a more comprehensive group of photos. She's a knock out!

Edit: And congratulations on capturing excellent photographs of a sparkle finish, that really takes some doing. You know how to use a camera, sir!

Wow that went quick. Somebody got a bargain:

JFC!, that came up and was gone instantly, even with daily checks I completely missed that one. Altho there are issues beyond the finish that don't appeal to me, I might have jumped on it, just because! Thankfully my black beauty is enroute to anxiously awaiting arms, or I'd be pissed. ebay still delivers the deals!

I think he could have easily sold it for $500 - the headstock repair he noted was just a loose seam that was reglued. Except for the SD pickup it was pretty much unmolested, no broken control cavity and finish was excellent. The buyer got a near-mint condition Custom for $365 shipped with a free SD pickup. That was sweet deal.

PS, I tried to tell you guys!

the headstock repair was just a loose seam that was reglued.

How deep/serious could that seam seperation be? Have you seen this before, is it a known production flaw?

It was just a standard head stock glue joint above the volute like you see on lots of modern guitars. Barely worth mentioning.
