Check around and forums and you'll see many working, professional guitarists are using hot rodded Epis as their main axes. You don't have to pay big bucks to get good tone! This Epi has had some great upgrades and is ready for your next gig! The body is mahogany with a flame maple top for that classic Les Paul tone. The 24.75 inch scale set mahogany neck features a bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays. The pickups have been UPGRADED to a Gibson USA 490/500 series at the bridge and a Dimarzio Tone Zone at the neck. Pots are CTS for years of trouble free service. The tuners have been upgraded to Grovers and the bridge is an upgraded roller saddle unit for reliable tuning stability. A Bigsby vibrato has been added for a great vintage vibe. A really killer package. I believe this one is one of the last Korean made models. Many players consider the Korean guitars to be superior to the newer Chinese instruments. Either way, a cool guitar with tons of sounds!
This Epi plays and sounds great and offers up a variety of classic tones. The neck is comfortable, the frets are good and the action is nice. The pickups sound good and dish out a ton of big tones. The CTS pots work as they should. A very nice upgrade over the stock equipment! Condition wise, this is a fine guitar for a player. It shows moderate pick, clearcoat and belt scratches as well as some dents and dings. Still nice looking. Comes in an Epiphone hardshell case.
This is a great opportunity to grab an Epi that can go toe to toe with the more expensive Gibsons. You could spend a fortune pimping your Lester like this. Factor $550 for the guitar, $180 or so for pickups, another $20-30 for the pots, $130 for the Bigsby, another $75 or so for the other hardware and $80 for the hardshell case. It would cost you nearly a grand before you factored in labor to build this for yourself!
