Hey Steve,

What's a goin' on buddy! Well, I have two LP's from the Saein plant and I wouldn't

take for 'em. I always say I got lucky... And I don't mean that in any mean spirited

way of course. I also look at it like "Swoop" has stated, "A Wednesday run"... In

all reality, There's good and bad ya' know. In my honest opinion, There's absolutely

nothing wrong with an Epi that rolled out of the Saein plant. Ironically, I just talked

to a guy that in the past month, Has sent 2 separate Gibson Les Pauls back due to

craftmanship issues on both in different areas. He sent the last one back and ordered

a Carvin..? He couldn't be happier. Carvin, Epi, Gibby... Heads or tails

Hey swoop,

I'm sorry... By the way, Nice equipment ya got there!! You're LP is just like mine with the exception

of the pick guard, (chrome), and I've since added some d'activators. These Epi LP Customs are

righteous guitars huh!!!

Thanks again!

Swoop,

Yes sir, The ol' bolt on neck for sure... I've got some grovers in and amongst the hatchet

knot, somewhere... I'll get some time here pretty soon to mess with it. I remember the LP

specials and then they went to the special II and it seems like folks talked about the quality

going deeper in the muck..? It was just a fluke deal and I noticed the custom shop stamp

and thought, what the heck... Can't complain about quality at this price here. I got it with

an Boss GT-6 which was what I was genuinely chasin ya know. At any rate, Yeah, I'll sure

have to do some thinking on what to do with it for sure..? Thanks again swoop!

Have a good one sir!

Hey swoop,

Cool! Thanks for all the info! It's really not a bad guitar as I can tell... Just fooled with it for a bit today, Took the

strings, etc off and gave it a good goin over ya know. I'll get some fresh strings on it tomorrow afternoon and

go from there. Again, Thanks you guys for all the great info and insight, You're the best!!

Have just a GREAT weekend!

Hey metal,

What's goin on... Yes sir that'd be it! It just freaked me out to be a "special" custom shop

ltd edition..? I didn't realize there was such ya know. Thanks so much for the shot of it. I thought

I might have took a hickey on it. Not bad though, 80 bucks.

Thanks metal!!!

Hey gang,

I picked up a Epiphone SG special, custom shop limited edition earlier today and I didn't even realize there was such an animal... Can anyone tell me if this is for real or has someone just swapped a neck out..? The guitar actually plays real nice and wow what a huge difference in weight from my Epi LP custom shop. Unreal!! Just out of curiosity I pulled the neck pup, (blk/cream), to see what the story was and it's an epi pup. I apologize for no photo at present, But, I'll do that ASAP. It's actually a purdy cool guitar..? Just curious what some thoughts would be.

Thanks so much
