Snarf8 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi, I own a epiphone les paul es custom and was wondering if anyone had any idea how much they are worth? Not looking to sell but more for peace of mind, ive seen varying values of them with one page even quoting $10,000. I bought it about 16/17 years ago for £500 ($700 approx). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one (for others to view) but no price as it was sold. http://www.exceptionalguitars.com/inventory/detail.php?sn=EPEL061020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Scales Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 according to wikipedia there is so that's probably the source quoted I guess. wikip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Agreed. I think the Epiphone wiki is an awesome resource - as well as just plain interesting reading. Maybe some pictures would help solve the puzzle as has been suggested earlier - quite keen to know now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Those are great guitars. Without a picture it's hard to guess a value but the burst colored models that were late 90's early 00's usually go between $500.00 & $1000.00 The earlier all black Elite version maybe a bit more. Really clean versions often go over a grand and on rare occasions I've seen 1500! Here' a link to pictures of some that have sold on eBay the past few years. http://s1193.photobucket.com/user/dReit/slideshow/Gibson%20Les%20Paul%20Florentine%20and%20EPI%20ES I have lot's of pics if you are interested message me and I'll try to send them to you.

dReit1 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I see that Musicians Friend is advertising a new Epiphone Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO Hollowbody Electric Guitar. Looks good, but has that skinny neck thing. :( http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/epiphone-les-paul-standard-florentine-pro-hollowbody-electric-guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The specs say Nitro. Does anyone have one to confirm or is this a misprint and really comes in Poly? 99.9999999% sure that it's poly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bet anything on a Musicians Friend ad. And I can't find anything at Gibson/Epiphone. So I'd guess poly until proven otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd guess poly until proven otherwise I thought it was too good to be true. I would bet though MF just copies and pastes what Epiphone sends them for specs, same as they can't get their own guitars with the correct PUs listed either. When they do show up in the stores looks like it is worth looking at anyway. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Marlowe Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Read a thread on I think MLP forums where someone contacted Epiphone / Gibson customer support and they confirmed that the finish is poly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dReit1 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 There's a nice wine colored '99 over at thebay. Price is still pretty good. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251577421645?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2648 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
