Old Rocker 59 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Now that is what you call a deal ! If memory serves me correctly, don't those have DiMarzio humbuckers in them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truetone6 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Awesome pick up mate, great bargain, beautiful guitar. Thanks! Did the original Epiphone Ace Frehley have a sold maple top? The original discription said: "Epiphone's version of Ace's LP Custom features lightning bolt fingerboard inlays and the Ace face and signature on the headstock. Add a multi-bound premium flamed maple top, mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard, and quality chrome-plated hardware" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Adelfio Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have both the early 2000 Epi Ace Les Paul, ( Trans Black ), and the new Epi Budokan,( #182 of 1,000 ), and even though I like them both - the Budokan is a better made guitar. I was disapointed with the neck of the 1st Ace Model; the neck just didn't feel like a true Les Paul neck. I understand that it was based on the Epiphone "Classic" Les Paul Models that they were making at the time - but it does have a rockin' tone - well : that's the DiMarzios for ya. The Budokan is better, in every way. I think now that Epiphone has it's very own factory - quality has gone up and these are guitars to be proud of. I have 4 Epis...love em !
