Glenn F Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi there, This is my first-time here. I have been thinking about buying one of the Epi LPs with P90s (I can still get a Goldtop, if I wish, though my first thought is the LP Custom P90 LTD). Thing is, I have only seen the latter at a few stores here in Europe, and have seen nothing about them on the Epiphone model display pages. Does anyone have any experience with this model? It isn't a counterfeit, is it? Here is a pic, if I can get it to work: Gold hardware, very nice looking and playing guitar. Thanks in advance!

Glenn F Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks! Anyone else? I can't seem to find this guitar's provenance. It is MIC, EE serial number, though I can't find any info on it. Weird. Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansla Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have no experience in this either. Thomann.de seems to be selling them so it is very unlikely that it would be a counterfeit. 400e+20e for shipping is a good deal for a Epi LP Custom. I'm thinking about getting one for modding.

EpiEric Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 That is extremely cool. I like it a lot. Probably a special run for the European market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric m Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi Glenn, I have the very same guitar. It is a limited edition...I have found a couple for sale in Canada but I have not heard of anyone owning one in th USA. It is a GREAT sounding and playing guitar. The P90s make the guitar sing...great midrange 'bark' and shimmering highs... I prefer the sound of the P90s to the humbuckers. If you can find it...buy it Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] FWIW The LTD editions are never featured on Epiphone's website, alltho they may have been anounced in the news section at some point. Guitar is looking good, there's also a Custom antique finish if I recall correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefish Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Greetings from Vancouver, BC. Bluefish here and I am blessed to have just purchased this same guitar brand new from a local retailer. It was mis-labeled at a much lower cost that it should have been, I brought it to their attention and they granted me the sale, and threw in a new Elitist standard case at no cost. Merry Christmas indeed! It becomes a stable mate to my other LP, a Standard with Seth Lovers. As I'm new to the forum, I'm not sure how to post pics so any help would be great, thanks!

IntelligentAl Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Wow, I can't say that I've ever seen one of them before, but that is a very cool looking guitar. Like the others said, I doubt very much that it is a counterfeit since there are a few here who have bought it from an authorized dealer. So all I can say is, if you can get it, buy it! I'll bet those P90s sound great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron G Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Glenn, did you see any other colors at the stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmidnight Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 About 6 months or so ago musiciansfriends had them on clearance/blow out, I think they were $299? may have been $399..just can't remember, anyway was a very good deal. I was wanting one but just couldn't justify to the wife why I needed another Les Paul. They seem to be the same as the gold top, just black instead. I think you would enjoy the P-90 sound...the P-90s are one of the best pick ups Epi puts out, I have a pair on my WildKat and love how they sound on it! If you get one just remember to post a pic and tell us how you like it. Capt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generation zero Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'd like to see that with black covers on the P90s, and a black 5 ply pickguard. That would be the sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantana Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 If anyone ever sees one of these for sale then you must let me know immediately (there might be a finders fee in it for you!!) because I think that I'll die if I don't get one............the GAS hurts so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
