dem00n Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 I know but i love how it says Les Paul Custom on the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I wish this pic was of better quality but it's a digital of an old film pic of one of my bands, ca; 1965 or so. The guitar is the real deal - a '61 Les Paul Custom with Bigsby. It was the first LP custom I ever saw and ruined me for good necks on guitars forever after, in spite of the fact that I was a drummer at the time. Anyhoo, it doesn't appear that there is anything at all on the trc. I wonder if ol' Roger still has that axe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I don't get it... did epi put out a 61 reissue of the les paul or something? If not then yes that is a fake (if he were trying to sell it as an epiphone les paul... would have more to do with one's lack of knowledge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elantric Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 The Craigslist ad is for a genuine Epiphone G400 Les Paul Custom Exactly like this one http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=27&CollectionID=16 They have been making these for over 10 years now - Various years are Korea, or China, or Thailand some cool old catalogue pictures man.

elantric Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Now this one gets my vote as the worst fake Les Paul Custom ever! :- But if they add a few more knobs - it would sure make a cool foundation for that new robot acoustic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really thinking about a G-400 for modding and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elantric Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Re G-400 - They are a nice $400 guitar At one time i believe there was the best example - the Epiphone G-400 "Eletist" - these were made in Japan - using real Gibson parts and nitro lacquer finish - included the Maestro type Vibrola in gold. ANY Epiphone Eletist is a very cool guitar. - the Epi ES-335 Dot Neck Eletist was so cool - they had to stop importing them - they were impacting sales of the real deal out of memphis.
