nickvz Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi guys, im new to this forum, and i was wondering if any of you could tell me a bit about the epiphone T-310, like when did they start building it or just random stuff about it because i cant find the info anywhere, and i think i should learn a bit more about it seeing its one of my fav guitars and one of the guitars i use the most ( but those two things go along right ahhaha).... and also if someone can tell me when mine was built....the series code is S2060351.... i can also post a picture of it later if you want to see it.... thanks in advance for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epinder Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Your guitar is a Samick (Korea) built guitar. Built in June of '92. The T (Tele) and S (Strat) 300 series guitars were made to compete with Fender in the '90's. I owned an S-310 that I know regret selling. They are great guitars, especially when you consider the price. Here is a link to an old web page that depicts your guitar: http://web.archive.org/web/19980703172502/www.epiphone.com/products/epiphone/solidbody/3.html PS: You will be told to add photos, so to preempt that strike, if i were you, I'd post them haste. Welcome and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albannach Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Two white T-310s have popped up on Evilbay recently. I lost one by 2GBP & 2 secs! It went for 112GBPm the other is on Evilbay.com and is currently about 325GBP. A little bit peeved off that I missed the UK one but there are more guitars out there with my name on them!

RobinTheHood Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 The average price for a T-310 on the used market is about $150 USD. $180 USD for new/old stock is decent, but not fantastic. A new/old stock T-310 should top out at about $200. No more, with maybe the exception of a T-310 Custom (ash body). The guy selling one on Ebay for $325 is living a pipe-dream. For some reason, people think these guitars are rare. They are not. The rare ones are the T-310 & S-310 Custom models. But they still do not command a high resale price. The T-310 is about the equivalent to a Squier Affinity model...except that the old Epi Teles (minus the customs) had ply bodies - as where Squier uses Alder wood.

RobinTheHood Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 cheers i was semi joking bout ebay if i bought id have it re-vamped and keep it. Right on. Just making sure. Every week I see someone on Craigslist or Ebay trying to sell a "rare" 310 for $300+. I gotta put the word out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I just picked up what I believe is a T-310. Tele body but with a chrome humbucker in the neck position, some odd contact paper like stuff on the guard which I haven't peeled yet, maple neck, pointy 80s style headstock... the worst feature is that someone stripped the headstock face and put a Gibson logo on it. Weighs a ton. Seriously. I was hoping to pick up a Tele clone so I could tart it up rockabilly style with pinstripes and cheesecake, but the big hair headstock kinda flies in the face of the whole idea. We'll see. I probably don't have $50 into it at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
