DennisB643 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I just came across what is being advertised as an EF500-PNS pre-production model on Ebay. Looks like it's in very great condition (seller describes it as 9.5/10). Looks like the real deal with original Epiphone hydrometer case. Looks like my DR 500-PNS but in a OM body. I've never seen one before. (I am in no way affiliated with the seller or the sale). If this was a short scale, we wouldn't be having this post I would have bought it already. I'd like it to end up with one of the Epiphone Masterbilt enthusists. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181514902031?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true
Scootch Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I notice they show no closeup of the front of the headstock. Makes me wonder.

CharmedOne Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 The serial numbers are different. Just a couple off. They both came from Tennessee too. Nice guitar!
DennisB643 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Yes it's not the same guitar. The serial number of the one up for auction now ends in 319, Dannyelectro's ends in 321. When I said I've never seen one before I forgot all about the one he posted a few months ago. They appear to be pretty rare.
Cougar Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Man, that is damn tempting. I recently acquired an EF500M and an EF500RA. This would complete the set.... <In between that sentence and the next...> You'll notice that guitar was just sold. I couldn't let that get away, now, could I?

CharmedOne Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 WTG on that one!! I almost bought it too, I'm glad someone here gets to enjoy that one. Awesome guitar!! ~CO

DennisB643 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Impulse GAS! If it would have been a short scale I would have pulled the trigger. Please send pics and a review after you get it...Congrats!
Cougar Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Please send pics and a review after you get it...Congrats! Thanks, all. Will do, Dennis. That maple neck just kills me.... From the auction:
Cougar Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 This guitar was apparently living down around Murfreesboro, TN, where it was dropped off yesterday (Monday). The seller suggested to ship early in the week so the guitar doesn't sit in a warehouse over the weekend. I thought, good idea. So today it's in Nashville. It's leaving Nashville. Coming home to me. Jeez, this guitar writes its own songs....
