floydpink7 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Looks very nice! It looks like the Jack Casady bass, didn't another guitar pop up on the forum that was like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 For the Epi Les Paul Signature (Model ENL 5), the 2009 Blue Book says: 60% (Good) = $325 70% (Very Good) = $400 80% (Very Good+) = $400 80% (Excellent) = $500 95% (Excellent+) = $550 98% (Mint) = $625 Last MSRP = $1,299 (1998-2000) PS: I like it and if I had $500 kicking around would get it. Seems to be fairly rare and probably won't lose much if any value. Might even go up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Flick Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Is it fair to pay like 500.00 for one of these? Thanks for the help guys!!!!!!!! I had a gold one for awhile: The original low impedance pickups had been swapped out for P-90s, so I can't comment on how they sound. But the guitar itself is very nice, $500 seems like a good price if it's in decent condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Jerry, I notice your gold one had one varitone switch like a BB King, but the one in unreal's photo has two. Which one is factory or are they just different versions?

I actually still have the plastic rings, one say 50 250 500, the other says IN OUT on the top and PHASE on the bottom. Since I never had the pickups, I don't know the actual effect of those two knobs. The original owner of the one I had put Lollar P-90s custom installed because one of the original pickups had died. He still had the two rotary switches on it, but they weren't connected. So I put a varitone in it, but the third knob was just a dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played it in my college band oh so many years ago. And if one came up and I had the $$, I'd definitely get one again. However take a look at THIS. These are made in the Peerless plant in Korea. Check out the "Bird of Prey" model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the one I had was made by the Peerless factory. I guess they kept the tooling. There's also a Turser Cleoparta and an Eastwood Savannah (I think that's what they're called) that had a similar shape body, but they were made in China.
