ogreki11er Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have an opportunity to buy one of these. Can anyone give me any information on this guitar other than what you can find on the web? I've read that it was a limited run of 500 made in 2005 for Epi's GOTM series for that year. It's gotten TONS of good reviews. I'm just wondering if anyone may know the current value on these, if they were made in china/korea, and if they were truly ran in a limited run of 500 or not. P.S. I'm new to the forum and did a search, but it yielded nothing for me. Thanks in advance for any help! -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricochet Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mine is made in Daewon China denoted by factorycode "I" before de serial. You have to question the "limited-ness" of an Epi LE. I think Limited Edition in Epi-speak is not refering to a fixed amount but rather a timeframe where a certain model is produced as long as it sells. Usually this Limited-ness is defined by non-standard pickups, finish, hardware or any combination of these. As such it has no real added value. Basicly it's just a Ebony LP Custom fitted with EMGs and black hardware. No idea of value, but IMO it's not better or worse in quality than any of Epiphones other LP offerings.

rouge Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 mysterious yet masculinely attractive guitar. what's the deal with them black pick-ups?? ... i'll safely assume they'll sound a lot better than the stock pick-ups on other epiphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 That's as good looking a black les paul as I've seen. white lettering on the switch plate is all I'd change I think. Are those EpiActives? TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Mine is made in Daewon China denoted by factorycode "I" before de serial. Um... 'I' would be Saein. DaeWon uses a 'DW' factory code. FWIW looks like DaeWon makes the import B.C. Riches too... Dae-Won Guitar Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
