Muskank Sally Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I've got Gas!! Jonesing bad for an Alleykat I saw today at Sam Ash. $369 Tagged as a 2009, serial read I05xxxxxx so it's a Saein 2005 that's probably been sitting in some ware house for a while. Since the inspection tag said 4/09 I wonder if it has the Loc-Tone parts for the tailpiece and bridge, which is one thing I would want to check on. I couldn't make out the stamping underneath. As long as that bridge says 'Epiphone' and not B-2, all is OK. (it is pretty important honestly, as I am quite fond of the upgraded part. I haven't had to replace a one.) Should I jump on it? Put it on layaway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy77 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Great guitar and $369 is a great price for a "new" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskank Sally Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Decided against purchasing this one. Even though it's Made In Korea, (I0511xx) it was made in 2005 at my least favorite plant... Saien, 3 months earlier than My SG Custom was. I could see underneath the bridge stamped B-2. Uh-Oh.... no Loc-Tone parts just the old stuff...not removed and replaced. So this Saein built Alleycat won't be coming home with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
