Yea i will. I keep everyone posted.

 

Before you pull the trigger you may wany to consider some of the competition which' date=' despite not being an Epi, does offer you a more close approximation of what you want:

As well as doing the double cutaway they also do a yellow single cutaway but the body is poplar and the neck is maple.

 

 

They can be had for a lot cheaper than the manufacturer's retail price - about £160-£180

Brianh' date=' plywood? GAK ad says alder. I know nothing meself. Don't fancy it either.[/quote']

Actually the ad says Alder "tonewood" whatever that is. I expect it's the same as Danelectros (love em or hate em) "masonite" sounds better to English ears than hardboard which is what we know it as.

I believe they sold for $299 new - that was a freakin' steal' date=' should've bought two! Someone here or the Wiki said they got one new on closeout for $180.

 

There's a whole thread on JRs with Gary's awesome mods over there: http://epi.p3net.net/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2659[/quote']

 

good thread. i've been watching them on ebay - specifically in tv yellow. this one just went for the BIN price very quickly. a friend has one. he swapped out the pups for seymour duncan dog ears. the guitar is amazing.

i emailed the seller asking what was wrong with it but have recieved no response. his feedback is 100% but still no answer.
