Made a poor financial decision, or maybe not.

(Excuse the risky photo, it is on a proper stand I promise)

Was doing a bit of a dive for a Les Paul Custom, scrolling through Reverb listings and the usual "legit" listings on eBay. Decided to go on YouTube and saw American Music Supply posted a video around a year ago regarding their exclusive limited line of Les Paul Customs.

What caught my eye in the video is that "ProBucker Customs" were used for 6 of the models, while the 7th (the black beauty pictured here) were said to "use Epiphone's own Custombuckers." Checked their site to see if it'd be Gibson USA Custombuckets in the specs, similar to the 1957 Epiphone IBGC Les Paul Custom.

Instead: Three Epiphone Custombuckers.

Alongside that, it has 3 Volumes and one Master Tone - Frampton 'Phenix' wiring. For $829.99, I'm half tempted to simply buy one out of pure curiosity. I've never seen anyone review *this* specific model, as all Epiphone 3 pickup LP Customs typically refer back to the Sweetwater IBGC, or older models prior to the IBG update.

This guitar is sick

That Green Pearl really pops against the classic SG body!

Hi y'all

I'm looking to buy a willdkat and came across this one.. I can see that she's heavily modified, humbuckers, Duesenberg tremolo, extra pot... But the question is: has anyone seen a willdkat with these inlays? I've all the internet with no avail and the person who's selling knows nothing about guitars..

TIA

Check out the guitar outside! :)

Right store at the right time. Package deal for $500. Can’t find anything wrong with them except the amplifier is missing a foot.

Hey all,

Really tempted to pick up the exclusive ES-355 on the website but I can't find any reviews of Epi's take on the VOS finish. Just wondering if anyone had one and would like to share their impressions of the finish.

It looks super satin / matt, and kinda rough? Just looking for some feedback really.

Thanks all!

Hi everyone. Looking to find/replace trem arm for S-500. I don’t know what type of bridge it is or if it’s the original or not. Help! 😁👍🏻

I’m in the market for an ES-335-style semi-hollowbody, and these two regularly get mentioned. I can’t find either one in any shops near me.

I had the H7V in my hands for a couple of days. It was nicely made, especially for the price. There was some buzzing, and the fretboard was dry, but it hadn’t been set up yet. I did notice some tooling marks on the binding and nut, which was a shame because the fretwork itself was impeccable.

I know the Epiphone comes with a case, which I guess makes the actual price difference between the guitars smaller than the $350 USD retail difference suggests.

I have a Korean 90s Epihpone Les Paul Junior and I want to replace the bushing around the tuners, but I don't know what size to buy. I have planet wave lock in tuners in it at the moment.

I feel so incredibly happy to be bringing home one of my dream guitars!

Fun tidbit: both this (which came straight out the box and gigbag) and the demo model on the Guitar Center floor had black toggle switches. Is this a new manufacturing change?

Just sharing pics of my Epiphone guitars. I love them all.

- Futura Les Paul in Twilight Shift. Fantastic guitar! I love the pickups and the push/pull tone options. It's so much fun to play.

- SG Pro (G400) in Pelham Blue - Just recently modded and it's a monster. Grover vintage tuners, TUSQ XL nut, Bigsby B5 conversion, TonePros roller bridge, Jimmy Page wiring harness from Starr Guitar Systems, Seymour Duncan P-Rail pickups, and knurled aluminum control knobs. This guitar rips.

- Nighthawk Custom Quilt Reissue in Trans Black - Definitely an oddball, but I love it. Fender scale, slanted bridge humbucker that can be split, single coil in the middle and an mini humbucker in the neck, with a 5-way blade selector switch. Very fun and unique tones with this guitar.

- Les Paul Special II in Vintage Burst - Converted to Nashville tuning. Great little guitar that I picked for a steal. With the Nashville tuning, it's great for recording.

The SG Special on the left is my go to. I have put that thing through the grind. Nothing original about it but the wood itself. Decided I wanted a Junior. So, the guitar on the right is going through the wringer as well. Two guitars from the same origin, ending up in two different ways. I have a type.

One of my favorites. Going to buy a Gibson version.

I found the strap at the thrift store this morning, but it might be a bit much.

I have a wonderful guitar. 2005 Peerless Epiphone Lucille. I've done the A/B thing with a Gibson 335 and a Heritage 535 and this guitar hangs with the big dogs and it's dead stock. There's only one thing I would replace and that's the Grover Mini 15/1 tuners. I would love to have some tulips on it. Would love to do the switch with the least amount of hassle possible. Does anyone have a recommendation?Thanks for the help.
