lpfan Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I just got an offer to trade my Applause acousdtic/electric for an Epiphone lp Special. Its black with flames. I thought it might look cool with a Bigsby. It also has the Epi Custom Shop logo on the back of the headstock. The Applause sounds good but I want to get a nicer acoustic/electric after I graduate from EKU. What do you guys think, should I or shouldn't I?

EpiPunk101 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Seeing as you already have 2 quality Les Pauls, id say keep your acoustic. Ive ownd an Epi LP Special and i wasn't to impressed. Tuners were garbage and the pickups were pretty poor. Unless you feel like sinking some money into making it a very good guitar id say just keep your acoustic.

lpfan Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 I don't mind replacing the tuners and pickups. I just thought it would look awesome with a bigsby. The acoustic is nice but I'm not really happy with it anymore. I actually want a Gretsch Rancher acoustic/electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icantbuyafender Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 thats what i did. I traded a good acoustic electric ovation for a pair of specials. An SG and a LP, threw new chrome GFS keystone tuners, chrome knobs, SwitchCraft style switch, orange drops and Duncan Designed pups They were fun projects, especially because of the wiring options. I chose coil splitting. couldnt have been happier, seeing as I didnt use that guitar much at all. The only acoustic i have now is a classical acoustic.
