strings Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi, i have just bought an Epiphone Emily The Strange SG for £68. The seller told me that it was a very limited edition which included a white scratch plate as opposed to the usual black one. I have contacted Epiphone and they are on the wiser. Does anyone know anything about this "Special edition" or have I been sold a dud? I have a pic of the guitar but I dont know how to .ut it on this page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdouglasjordanx Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i saw one in a local music shop, they are primarily a epiphone dealer.. so its sounds legit, as for rarity i have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpfan Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It is a limited edition. On the Musicians Fieend website the scratch plate is black. Its also black on Epiphones website. The truss rod cover is also black and has Emily the strangs on it. Does yours? I don't know if its a fake but thats not alot of money for the guitar so you might have a fake. Can you post pics? I hope its not a fake. Nobody wants to get burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strings Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Can anyone tell me how to atach a picture? This site is so different to anything I have come across before: when it comes to adding a picture its a **** site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Cool looking guitar but I don't see any pics or mention of that model with a white pickguard anywhere on the net. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's not legitimate, distribution could be different in the UK than in North America. Pics of your particular guitar would be useful. Post to Photobucket then attach the IMG code in your follow-up message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Strings - it certainly looks authentic except for the white pickguard. Perhaps the previous owner did some customizing? Those cat eyes at fret twelve are cool. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icantbuyafender Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 it should say limited edition on the back of the head stock or something to that effect. actually, the white guard is pretty groovy. but i was pretttty sure it had a black pickguard. maybe the owner bought a replacement G310 pickguard online from like ebay?? got it fer cheap, i wouldnt complain lol just use this site to verify the serial number : http://www.guitardaterproject.org/epiphone.aspx hope its real.

midiman56 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 +1 for the white pickguard. It really sets off that graphic. Good choice (whoever made it)! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
