Epiphone Les Paul with F-Holes

Krsnik87

Saw this guitar the other day and nearly wet myself. Its the most insanely beautiful guitar I have ever seen...

Only problem is I can't find one. The one I saw is on adverts but it looks like some lucky &%#! got there first lol...

Anyone know where I might be able to buy one?

Thanks,
Krsnik

it's called the Epiphone ES Les Paul and it was discontinued in the late 1990s i believe

so you'll have to browse the second hand market.

my friend mike demo'd one here:

they had one for ages in cash converters in cork,

bar none the heaviest guitar i have ever picked up,i've no idea how they got that guitar so wrong that a semi hollow LP could be heavier than any regular LP i've ever picked up

total lemon

I couldn't swear to it, but are these not part of the Elitist series?

Nah, I did a double-take on it because I'd never seen an LP with 'f' holes, it's lovely, it was a sunburst/flame type colour. Didn't get close enough to inspect pickups but I mentioned it to the sales assistant and he said it was mint (but then he would wouldn't he ;o))

I'm looking for an LP at the moment so I half thought about it and then I saw your post. Thought I'd let you know since you sound so keen on it. Are you sure the black one from adverts is sold?

Krsnik87

As fas as I know someone is going to have a look at it anyway, I'm trying selling my PC to get the money for one of these lol so it will prolly be gone by then, who knows.

I'm sure there is a few floating around the net and if worse comes to worse I could ask in that new music shop in dundrum. They're tellin me they have a rare guitar workshop, old epi's, rickenbackers etc on the way so I could get them to find one.

Either way I'll get one eventually, thanks for the info man

Played it today, my god... I feel sorry for whoever buys it first cause I must have filled the cavitys with drule... mmmm f holes...

Just an alternative if you're strapped for cash, another project guitar to try.

Krsnik87

thanks man, I'm gonna look into that, its alot more along the lines of what I can afford... the epi in music maker is 550 which is a little over budget.

Thanks again!

Let me know if you go for it, I was interested in that model myself. I just wouldn't trust myself to try fixing it.:o

Krsnik87

Fix it? The only thing wrong is 3 small bubbles about the size of a pinhead in the paint. I've been talkin to one of the guys there for the last hour or so and I am definately getin me one of these... Its a beautiful guitar and has amazing reviews.

Including delivery and hardcase its costing me 240 euro. Not bad for a guitar thats been compaired to a gibson LP!


EDIT: 220 euro, got a discount apperently Anyone here know the delivery times of guitars from this place?

WHAT!!!! 550, they quoted me 425 on the phone yesterday. You must have seemed smitten ;o)
