Here's my LONG neck tenon.

She's a beauty man. Now rest everyone's minds and show the tenon

 

[dennistruckdriver]

Right on! Congratulations!

 

[2dark2c]

Well it does not look like the pics i've seen from the Epiphone site, so i'm thinkin it is not legit.

What say you guys? Give it to me straight lol. Just like pullin off a bandaid, fast and painful.

Also, is the pickup real? lol

And what is all the stuff in there? glue? its dry but looks terrible.

 

[dennistruckdriver]

Well, if it were any more 'chambered', it'd be a 339!
Looks good to me!

 

[GrouchyDog]

Long tenon, SD pickup, I think you're good.

 

[qwank]

Looks good to me

Really? i was worried when i didnt see the little tongue in the center, like i've seen on the pics from Epiphone.

This is great news. I'm very happy, thank you all for helpin with this. You guys should charge for your service. A lot of people get helped here. I for one really appreciate it.

Thanks.

The 'tongue' is there, it just doesn't fill the whole pocket.
And the 'stuff' in there should be the shielding paint, you'll find the same in the control cavity.

Nice guitar, congrats!

Wow she looks beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

APH1N is the slash neck pickup
If they are faking it man they went a long way to do so.
(Just IMHO)

 

[vladmaximus]

hell yeah GOOD...

thanks

 

[sasquatch]

That's the Real Deal.
I've seen enough of those beautiful guitars.
Yours is even more beautiful.
Either it's the light or it just looks good.
Very Gibson-ish in the aged look.

 

[Bluesyzep]

Don't forget the obvious. The extra thick tree trunk neck. Not saying Epi. doesn't have these on Standard models but I've only seen them on the "Slash" models.

 

[Kuroyama]

Yep, Duncan pup and long neck tenon... good find.
HOWEVER, Id go back and get the right paperwork. People say paperwork doesnt matter, but thats BS and you know it. If the original seller had quoted you the same price but listed that he couldnt provide correct documentation... Would you still have bought it? When you one day try to sell this guitar with incorrect documentation, what do you think that will do to resell value?

I'm pretty cynical, but if somebody were trying to sell me a Slash model with incorrect paperwork, IF I bought it, Id give them less money than with a normal used MIC LP.

Dont think youll never sell. If next year you have a shot at a Gibson Slash burst, with a new baby on the way you probably wont have a ton of cash handy. But if you sold your Epi... you could get it

Youll sell. Just takes proper timing/motivation.

 

[wizzbang]

I have an EPI 06 LP STD+ and it looks the same in the cavity.
your all good;p

What is so cool about these guitars is the "Historic" type features.

Maple cap
Long tenon

My buddy Jimmy (jbzoso2002) calls his "poor mans Historic"
