[Ian123]

Hey all I dont know if this is where Im suposed to put this as I am new to the site. Im looking to get a '56 reissue somewhere online but Im not to sure where to look. Iv tried ebay but Im not sure if their real or copies, can anyone recommend a good site to buy one off? cheers

You could try craigslist, but I can't guarantee they will have any.

Are you looking for new or used?

[Ian123]

Thanks for the replys, Im looking for new

[Ron G]

You'll want to buy it from an authorized Epiphone dealer in order to avoid a counterfeit

and to be covered by the warranty. For online, I recommend Sweetwater because of

their superior service. If you prefer to buy locally, most shops will match online prices.

Thanks for the help man, Il check it out now

Just a tip, if you can't find one in the States, try Long and McQuade in Canada, they're owned by the Gibson/Epiphone distributer up here and they often still have outdated Epis in the system that aren't available in the US any more...plus, our dollar stinks again :0)

Thanks for the help il check that site out and yep the dollar is terrible at the moment haha,cheers

I see that they've been discontinued and Sweetwater has none. Musician's Friend

apparently still has them. Better hurry!

I've had OK service with MF. Makes mw want to order one. Hurry up!

Sweetwater doesn't have any, that was where I got mine, and I do recommend them for their service.

 

This is interesting. MF will be getting some on March 3rd, but they are discontiued?? Maybe they are being made just for them

If I were ordering a guitar online again, I think I'd buy a case and ask for the guitar to be shipped in the case. My Goldtop got shipped in the Epiphone box inside a larger box with only some crushed paper inside. The foam inside the Epiphone box was exploded into pieces from sliding around. Lucky as it was, the guitar didn't have a scratch. I was both shocked and amazed at the same time.

 

The '56 reissue Goldtop is a real bargain at $399 if you can find one. It's a great guitar, and one that comes with really good P90 pickups. By the way, it's the one in my Avatar.
