MarkH Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hey yall, never knew that there was an Epi forum? Ive been on MyLesPaul forum, but have no Gibby? I do have 4 Epis, 2 '99s a tobbaco Custom and a quilt blue LE Standard, a '08 + top trans blue (my boys) and an older ?? Strat copy. Nice forum, hope to learn something! A question, any way of finding out some info on the Strat? Sticker says X960031156...MIJ...MIK ? Anyway I like it with that banna headstock it may become a frankenstrat?

clarkuss Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hello Mark, Welcome to the forum! Get some pics of your guitar and enjoy the place. Those strat copies aren't something I really know about. They were made in the late 80s or early 90s in Korea I think but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkH Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Here is a try at a photobucket transfer?? And the Strat>>> The Strat and the Custom came to almost un-played, I had to rescue my blue baby from a pawn shop that was not very nice to her.

May I also add that your transblue LP looks amazing. It's really one of the nicest I've ever seen ... looks almost liquid in that pictire!

MichaelE Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Welcome aboard! Man, that blue LP really has me. All nice looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have to agree; that blue LP is sublime. Arguably the nicest blue Epi I've ever seen, very 'PRS'... and it's not even in focus. Hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 That blue one IS nice...I'm a sucker for a blue guitar. That Customs nice too. Never was a ESP fan, but that's just me. Welcome aboard! Kool people over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah but watch out for Matiac... he's probably going to try and sell ya a pearloid pickguard any day now. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Nope, my Pearly's got a home in my guitarcase, I did see a nice cream pearly-oid guard at techster's shop, and it's for an Epiphone, so I don't have to file and sand like I had to with the white one...NAAAAH, I'm thinkin' I'l leave it off (yeah, right.).

RobinTheHood Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The strat is from a budget line Epiphone put out in the 90's (I believe). MIK. They all had EPI on the headstock, and the series had a letter prefix, but I dont recall what it was. For instance, there is the E-Series, S-Series and yours - (?)Series. Cant remember. I just read about that series a couple weeks ago. I should have taken notes. But its not a S-310, even though it looks like one. Basically the same guitar, but different series and logo.

Vic Flick Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 A question' date=' any way of finding out some info on the Strat? Sticker says X960031156...MIJ...MIK ? Anyway I like it with that banna headstock it may become a frankenstrat?[/quote'] Epi was a budget brand, made around 1998. My daughter has an Epi classical. I don't know if there's any significance to the serial #, it doesn't follow the Epiphone format. Here's a link to the 1998 Catalog. This is just a guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was made by Cort in Indonesia. They made a lot of the Squier Strats for Fender as well.

Hope your Epi Strat is just as good (If not, you can always turn it upside down and use it for a Hockey stick). LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
