mgrasso Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I just missed out on this because I was not sure if I should have gone hole hog. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250407195927 Here are good photos - http://www.willoughbymusic.com/pages/WMUSEDEPILPFLAME.html Does anyone own one? How does it play and stand up to the later Korean Standards? There is another one up for bid, but not in as good as condition. The kick me question is, should I have put my high bid at $400? I was half a click there when I realized I did not know much about it. The condition looks good and I love the Gibson headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hmmmm...from what I've learned in this forum, is that only Japanese Epis and fakes have the Gibson style headstock. Not Koreans. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfrets Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Not really a "gibson" headstock, but much more similar than the ones used now. Yes, they were VERY common on 80's Korean models. I've had 3 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks. I stand corrected. I didnt know they put them on Korean Models. They must not turn up too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrasso Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 That's why I was wondering if it would have been a good buy. Anyone own one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well, the Korean models are pretty highly regarded. And the earlier the better, IMHO. That one was a 1989, so from my point of view, I probably would have snagged it. It seems that over time, standards fall and prices rise....and if standards happen to rise, so does the price, exponentially, it seems. But you'll never really know unless you actually have it in your hands. I wish someone else would chime in on this. I'm very curious about it now.
