is this a plus top??

[RolandJ]

I am planning on selling this soon and want to Know if it is indeed a plus top,,, I was told that rootbeer was never an option for plus tops.?? I am pretty sure there is way too much flame in the top for it not to be a plus. ??thanks for any/all input. Ron http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1107/20030101epi0001.jpg

Sure looks like Plus Top to me, color may not be the current

options on sale at MF ($549.00), may put it into the

"limited edition" category, or may just be a color that was

popular at the time the guitar was manufactured.

The gold "tophat-style" knobs lead me to think "limited". What year?

 

I'll add your pic to speed up process:

thanks for everyones help, I believe it is an 05 , I saw MF's ad this mornig for the $100 price drop on most Epi's, figures just when i bring myself to sell mine LOL. But this color is very rare and I think it should do fine on e-bay, again thanks everyone, Ron

I think it may just be a plus top with a darker cherry sunburst...

Yes that is a plus top, that's figured maple - not a plain top which would not be figured.

root beer is a gibson finish...this is way too lightof a shade to be root beer. I am guessing it is a lighter finished honey burst that doesn't quite burst as much as say the heritage cherry. the shade change is subtle

it is pretty tho.

 

I really wanna know if epi did do a rootbeer plus top....

[snaredrum]

that's an epi plus top in heritage cherry, i think. looks ace.

thanks to all once again, this is a great resource. I don't know if it is a cherry cause it has no red tint at all in it,,,it looks to be the same color as my friends Gibby rootbeer LP, the pic I put up is not a very good example in that it makes it look to light , well it's on ebay as I write this, thanks again to all, Ron
