Wrighty2012 NOTE: I am not look for myself to personally buy thi it's for all you people that want one that sing it's praises.[/quote'] Hey Wrighty,...FYI these guys have a website and a London based shop which I pass by often and check there stock. They are ridiculously expensive and try to charge aprox. double the going rate,...even in these Credit Crunch times :D The last time I stopped by they had a beat up '74 walnut Gibson 355 w/ Maestro w/ narrow neck profile in lowsy condition for just under £ 5,000!!! (7,256.00 USD) about $3,000 over the mint asking rate. I know because I just sold a mint '70!!!! Talk about a mark up!!!!! Note:- I hope Wrighty doesn't own the place!!!!!

wrighty3693 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 They may try and charge double the going rate but with these kinds of stores you can haggle with the sales people. Which means that you can get them to bring the price down considerably thats why instead of paying £500 for an Epiphone Les Paul Custom i got it for £350. One of the only product markets left that you can haggle with. P.S if i owned that store i wouldn't write about their guitars i'd be playing them.

Wrighty2012 ...Have you actually been in the Place??? It's one of those Vintage places that sells to London City Stock Brokers who have bucket loads of wedge and no clue!!! I tried to negotiate a discount on a '80's 335 about 12 months and the guy behind the counter told me to f@*k off!!! Maybe times are alot tougher now in the so called "Vintage' market and anyway,...you are 100% right to recommend haggling..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty3693 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've been in quite a few guitar stores but the London City Stock Brokers only see them as investments which is why the greedy B*****d's in the store try charge you ridiculous ammounts. Which is why Northern Music are a good guitar store because they have a very welcoming atmosphere and the staff don't mind young people going in and using a Marshall JCM 900 Stack for half an hour the staff are genuine musicians not just greedy t**t's.

JohnMcClane5000 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Very beautiful guitar. Please make a reissue with the head similar to the one that expensive wilshire has and you got yourself another happy customer! :D =P~ =P~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 You can buy this wilshire for $270 (same body and headstock as the coronet) and a set in neck. I've seen them in different colors too. And throw two P-90's in it... it's an option http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Limited-Edition-Wilshire-Electric-Guitar?sku=518527 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 That's a nice body shape. I think it takes the SG concept and adds the strap button on the upper horn, so it probably balances better. If it came in cherry stain, I'd be GASsing seriously.
