markerdown Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I am really GAS'n for an epi tribute LP, in black with the asymmetrical neck. Man, it has all the upgrades I normally do to the std plus top. It's cheaper than an elite and a studio gibby. Ok, so who got one of these bad boys and whats the verdict? I've haven't played one yet at local GC and I'm just doin some homework on it. I don't need another epi LP, but I want one ......................markerdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjael Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hah, I hear you man, they just got some in at my local shop, and they are a pretty nice price for what they offer. Much less than the price of a set of Gibson pickups on top of an Epi Standard, in addition to all the nickel and such. I think I prefer the burst myself though. I'm winning an auction for some chrome epi 'buckers for my explorer which will warrant a string change, but I have no new strings so I may have to make an *emergency* trip to the RockShop this week. If you don't get your hands on one by then I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markerdown Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah, tax return time looks like the ticket for me. Plus I need to sell off a few strats that don't get enough play time. I was hoping the epi tribute came in honeyburst or the ice tea burst. My MIK epi is CHB, so black is the color I 'm lookin at for the tribute LP. It'll match my SG .........................markerdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markerdown Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah, I checked into the 59'; that is sure sweet, I like the pups, neck profile and color. Regardless, Ya snooze, ya lose: no more to be found? ..... that's why I'm at the Plan B, tribute LP stage ......................markerdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get your hands on one by then I'll let you know. The burst Tribute is the one I'm GASing for, Sjael. I'm relying on you to do a full review, so please give it the full once over. I'm interested in the fit and finish, in particular. I'm also not sure about the '09 asymetrical vs. the '60s neck so can you give us the low down on how either or both compare to a regular Epi Les Paul neck (which I gather is somwhere between '50s and '60s profiles). Full review expected, mate! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
