JerseyRay Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 So, I just noticed - custom shop, limited edition on my new emporer swing ster, so anyone have an idea of what that actually really means? Exactly "how" limited is it....
crust Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Many of the Epiphone guitars I own have the "Limited Edition Custom Shop" label on the back of the head stock near the "volute". Personally, I do not believe the guitar you have is a particularly "limited edition". I see the Wine Red Riviera P93's are still selling after 5 years, they also have the "limited edition" thing on the back too. See my avatar. So, I don't believe any Epiphone is really that "limited" (except the pelham blue SG with vibrolla tremelo unit) Ha, that's another story...I got 2 broken ones, had to send them back to Sam Ash...lol I could probably find on Ebay...But yes, that label is imho a "marketing gimic", again, just my opinion. Hey, you got a "limited edition", must be worth a million dollars...at least lol... The Royal white Epiphone Emperor Swingster is an unreal electric guitar, but you already know that...rock on..

Exactly "how" limited is it.... Most of the time they are marked that for a limited run like the Pelham Blue G400 with Maestro brought up here, or often times stores like GC or SA order a color for themselves like GC now has that P93 Riviera in a metallic red and a Wildkat too I have only seen at GC, 123, MF. SA ordered Casinos in burst with Bigsbys like Harrisons, standard line, I have one. Usually that is how it seems to work. The P93 is an example of them running the line for a long time. Has nothing though on the EJ160E Lennon has been available for around 20 years now and every one I have seen has the Limited Edition Sticker in the sound hole.
