jimtalkbox Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hello everyone, I'm a new forum member. I've got 3 epiphones currently in my collection. (1988 Epi Les Paul Standard Plus, Alpine White G400 & an orange Sorrento, and I've owned even more at different times!), and wanted to introduce myself! I'm currently looking to upgrade to a newer Les Paul because I'd really like a chunkier neck and want something in a different finish. I had originally looked at an Epi Elitist (in washed cherry 'burst), but they are hard to find online used! I tried one out once in Austin, TX and really liked it, but I was on the hunt for a different guitar that day. I'm really looking for: Les Paul (or copy) Epi Elitist, Tokai, Burny, Greco, Orville, etc. (does NOT have to be vintage) 50's chunkier neck (I've fallen in love with my friend's Gibson VOS) Faded Cherry Sunburst Pickups (I'll likely change for some BG Pickups PAF style anyways) Price Range: $500-$800 If anyone has something like this that they were wanting to sell or could point me to somewhere online that might have something like this, I'd very much appreciate it.

sexygibson Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 If you're looking for a chunkier neck you may want to try out one of the Slash models. May be out of your price range though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't have to go to the trouble though. I'm really picky about the look of it, but if you were heading there anyways, I wouldn't mind hearing about it/seeing a pic.

SkEpTiKaL Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Well I know it's not in your stated price range, but I'll bring it up anyway. MF still has faded cherry elitist standards in stock, but I'm not sure how much longer there are going to be there. If you can afford the extra cash, I say buy one from here: LINK to Elitist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtalkbox Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm also really interested in the Edwards Jimmy Page LP. Those things are pretty cool too! Although, I wish they offered a "non relic" version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a Slash Epi Goldtop and really liked it, especially the pickups and the neck, but I'm really stuck on a faded cherry sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtalkbox Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks everyone, but I found a nice Tokai LP copy from someone on another forum. I appreciate the offers I got though! Lots O' Nice guitars on these forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
