BluezOldy Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 A friend picked up a Gibson LP Vixen to day from an authorised dealer. It came with hard case, cable, strings and strap for AUD$1200 which is about the price of an Epi LP here these days. http://www.zzounds.com/item--GIBLPVX It's a really nice guitar, smaller and way lighter than an LP. Wish I had 1200 to blow at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 They may be "girl" guitars, but those Vixens were what I wanted in a Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigneil Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 even if it wasn't pink, i would not want one because it is like a watered down les paul ! .....Its like going out to buy a dodge ram and coming home with a suzuki vitara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaMan09 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have a similar dilema here...On one hand the Gibson vs EpiPhone for a simialr price choice is a no-brainer, but... An EpiPhone Standard Ebony is $655 ( this is the one I inched up to insterad of an LP-100 Pickups: Alnico Classic HB Hardware: Chrome Scale: 24.75" Nut Width: 1.68" Neck: Set Neck Mat: Mahogany FB/Inlay: Rosewood/Trapezoid Binding: B/N Body Mat: Mohagany Top: Maple Tailpiece: Stop-bar A (genuine) Gibson Vixen Ebony is on sale for $749 (under $100 more!) Cannot find it on the gibson web site. MF Web site shows it as discontinued and its reviews are luke warm/ Slim tapered next doesnt sound appealing either: Specs per MF are : Peghead Pitch: 17? Thickness at 1st Fret: 0.775" Thickness at 12th Fret: 0.875" Heel Length: 0.625" Neck Joint Location: 16th fret Scale: 24-3/4" Total Length: 18.062" Number of Frets: 22 Nut Width: 1.695" Width at 12th Fret: 2.176" Gibson Les Paul Vixen Features: Thinner, lighter mahogany body Slim-tapered mahogany neck Classic profile Rosewood fingerboard Diamond inlays Chrome hardware Wraparound bridge Top hat knobs Grover kidney tuners 490R neck pickup 498T bridge pickup One volume, one tone, 3-way switch Are those pickups better or worse? Do I stick with EpiPhone or grab a Gibson? Still leaning toward the Epi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
