andylivingston Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hello Epiphone forums. I'm new here. The reason I'm posting is that I've had this Epiphone Les Paul model guitar for over ten years. It was my first guitar. I have had great difficulty identifying the model. I would suspect a Les Paul 100 because of the bolt-on neck and 4 potentiometers. However, it does have an archtop. I brought it to Guitar Center today with the intent of selling it (I didn't, not nearly enough to part with it) and asked about it. Nobody there really helped. I have a folder of pictures here: Folder of guitar pictures It originally came with the Les Paul 100-type cream-clear knobs, and had unmarked pickups. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

pohatu771 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Carved top, two humbuckers, four knobs, and bolt-on neck - that's an LP-100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylivingston Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Alright. I was told that the LP-100s had flat tops. Also, did some come without the "Les Paul" written in script on the head? I realized I didn't have a picture of the front of the head stock, it only says "Epiphone" toward the top, and the truss rod cover says "GIBSON".

IntelligentAl Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yeah, I would agree and say that looked like a LP-100. How does it sound with those Seymour Duncan pickups? The Abbey Road design on the front is great, by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman56 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Why were you looking to sell it, Andy? Have you moved on to something else or did you just never get into it? MIDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivingston Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I love this guitar, but I don't get overly sentimental. I am in a tight spot financially, so I've been selling my guitars one-by-one. I want to keep it, but if the right offer came along I'd sell it, mostly because I want the opportunity to paint another guitar. I'd love to start that kind of business. As for the pickups, the one thing I didn't like about the guitar was how dead the old stock pickups sounded. The Duncans make it sound so much more alive and... pop I guess. Maybe sizzle. I use it for recording, so that was the most I spent on an upgrade. It's a Duncan Distortion in the bridge position, and Jazz by the neck, by the way.

I'd say it's some type of modded epiphone 100. What type of pickups are on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivingston Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Most of the modding was done by me. The pickups are Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz and SH-6 Distortion. It is a bit of a franken-guitar now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
