Anything wrong with this Epi LP Custom?

[Rod Neep]

Do you spot anything "wrong" with this Epi LP Custom?
Or is it "right" ?

There is nothing wrong with this Korean LPC

made Jan 04 at the Unsung factory

even the color is right

 

[kevinpaul]

I agree with Peter, It is fine. And I do like the color. Korean made, I bet it is a good one.

 

[MrKensei]

The only problem I see is the Knob position

Oh wait, it's Korean nvm.

 

[JohnnyN]

very nice! Even the tuners seem to be aligned unusual well for a Korean Epiphone.
Grab if you didn't already!

 

[Rod Neep]

I am thinking about it.

It is on Ebay and has been relisted about a half a dozen times at £300 with not a single bid. The only down side that I can see is that it is by a new Ebayer with zero feedback.

Trick question? It's missing B string...

 

[Rod Neep]

Yup
I guess I'll have to fit a new set of strings.

 

[Rod Neep]

Contact him off eBay.

Relisted. Zero bites. If you get talking to him, you'll get a sense of whether to trust him.

Did that.
All seems OK after a few messages back and forth.

He lowered the price on Ebay as agreed, and then ended the auction as soon as I bought it at that price. Its better that way doing it through Ebay and Paypal as it gives me the buyer protection.

Cheers

Well... it is now in the hands of ParcelForce...
I hope that he packed it well as instructed, and that Parcelfarce doesn't throw it around.

Estimated to be here Tuesday.

I hope ParcelForce treats packages better than FedEx!

Have you any idea why we might call them ParcelFarce?

My thought are with you man. I wont buy guitars online unless the seller sgrees to use TNT or UPS (ups in uk are pretty awesome imo)

At least he didn't send it with MyHerpes!

Looks nice! I see you are getting full into the swing of buying Les Pauls

Actually, this one isn't for me.
There is a young 15 year old at our church who plays and sings occasionally using an inexpensive acoustic with a pickup. He is already better than pretty good and shows a lot of promise. His eyes light up at my own LP....

He doesn't know it yet, but I am going to give this black Les Paul Custom to him as a gift, along with some lessons.

This world needs more people like You

Thanks

But I'm just an old (70 years next month) "has been" guy who has been playing for 55 years. Playing guitar has provided me with some awesome experiences during that time, and with a lot of cool stories to tell.

This is just a little "pay back" thing to help a youngster who deserves it.

Cheers

As a fellow old codger, I can say that had I been met with encouragement and mentoring by someone in our advanced age group when I was young, my progress on guitar might have been much quicker and easier! Good job, Rod!
