    Thank you ever so kindly for your meaningful guidance. I couldn't have possibly known that this was the "What comes with a new EPIPHONE GUITAR" thread without you pointing that out to me.

     

    You are definitely wise beyond your years but you may have missed on the t that I posted that in COMPARISON Just saying.....

    Oh he mad.^ Lol

    Do you regret your Epiphone purchase?

    I'll answer the OP...No. I just recieved my first Epiphone and it has impressed the hell outta me. I have been an American Fender and ESP man until now. I wanted a LP Custom soooo bad I couldn't stand it anymore buy the one I wanted was $3,900 so I turned to the Epi version which was only $550. I am an Epi advocate now. These things are utterly amazing! [drool]

    What Comes With A NEW Epiphone Guitar.

    Recently got a Gibson Les Paul Studio 60's Tribute, no swag whatsoever! Not even a truss rod wrench. I know that the Studio is near the bottom of the Les Paul line but at this cost, one would think it was worthy of some free goodies. Maybe a strap, a tee shirt or some picks anything. I did get a really nice gig bag that I won't use but that was listed. As far as I'm concerned that was part of the deal. I do wonder if there was some swag and I just didn't get it?

    This thread is called "What comes with a new EPIPHONE GUITAR, not your Gibson LP Studio, so....really couldn't tell ya. [bored]

    Heya Epi 1,

    I have 3 of the best Epiphones I've ever played and I was quite irritated when I then had to go out and purchase a hardcase seperately.

    Bloody hell, $1500 for my Black Beauty 3 and then $180 for HC, $900 for my G400 LTD and $140 for HC, $799 for my Explorer then $140 for HC. S@#t!!! [cursing][angry]

    For guitars of that quality,price and being at the upper end of the range, I would expect the hardcase to be included in the sale.

    Forget stickers, crappy cords and posters. A hardcase, Truss rod/allen key wrench and a Certificate of Authenticity is what's required.

    C'man man, stick with the necessities.

    Really?? You've got to be kidding me.

    Of all the VALID and IMPORTANT concerns voiced on this forum EVERY DAY regarding the quality of brand new Epiphone guitars, you choose to answer the burning question of, "wheres my sticker and throw away cord?"!

     

    Epi1 I am asking you as one professional to another, please do not insult us again with something like this. It actually has made me mad. I love Epiphone the guitars and the brand, but this is infuriating. You choose to answer a question about free swag thats included in a new guitar (which general consensus is the end consumer never gets the garbage anyways) but choose to blatantly ignore all the inquires to important relevant questions such as these.

    There are MANY more valid and serious concerns regarding this company. I find it highly disrespectful and insulting that you ignore our pleas for answers regarding these issues but you have time to come on here and tell us about free STICKERS and POSTERS??????

     

    We don't buy your damned bumper stickers, we buy your GUITARS. Please let us know why Epiphones quality, value, and customer service has been declining lately. Why are you making LP Customs in the obviously inferior factory. How did these poor examples of this guitar even released to the public and why did Epiphone feel they we acceptable? Why are the frets being used sub par and flawed from manufacturing?

     

    I offer my services as a Master Luthier, and Epiphone lover to you Jim. Perhaps you need someone in there to shake things up and demand quality from your staff, from the girl answering the phone in customer service, to the man scraping binding on the other side of the world for $5 a day. You should hold EVERYONE related to Epiphone/Gibson to a higher standard, not allow this company to fade into mediocrity (at best ATM).

     

     

    Please please please, answer a REAL question or at least get out there and DO something about it. I could care less about some damned sticker or poster. I care about getting a quality guitar at a fair price. Right now Epiphone can't even guarantee me a fully functioning guitar that is playable at ANY price. Do you really think stickers will make your customer base happy? We are GUITARISTS, not twelve year old girls with a sticker collection.

     

    I have been playing and singing the praises of Epiphone guitars for over 20 years, I have owned over 30 Epiphone guitars and now have 6. ^ Epiphone guitars all of which were made in Japan or Korea, all old, and I can't find a new Epiphone worth buying. Thats sad ain't it? I WANT A NEW EPIPHONE, BUT CANNOT FIND AN ACCEPTABLE GUITAR THAT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO MY OLD EPIPHONES. You should be moving forward with the company, making better guitars. But right now we are wittnessing the decline of Gibson/ Epiphone. PLeasae do not be so sure of yourselfs you stop caring about fine guitars and you customers. It seems like the attitude today is.

    " We are Gibson/Epiphone, the number one guitar company ever. Just slap something together, put our name on it and it will sell, we are Gibson after all. Who Cares"?

     

    I care Epi1, I care damnit.

     

    Is anybody else wondering why this guy got banned?
