Saljam Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bump - new pics in post #1... Hey Brian. I am expecting mine tomorrow. I gotta tell you though... I wish this guitar wasn't as "bright" as your photos appear to be. I'm anxious to see what mine looks like in person. I hope it's the actual TV Yellow that I have been waiting for!

SketchyEtchy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 OK' date=' a TV Yellow showed up today. I saw it on the porch through the side light, but was on the phone with HQ. By the time I broke free, another huge box had arrived - the TKL case I ordered from Amazon. I've had it plugged in for all of 30 minutes and absolutely, no issues. Action is low, intonation is close (although I will go over it more carefully later), and the finish and sound are quite good. I won't say exceptional, because disappointingly, [b']it is not a yellow wash, it is solid, absolutely no grain visible at all anywhere on the guitar.[/b] But it still looks nice. This is the only photo that looks close to the actual color: These are too blue, something about my camera settings today: Im quite jelouse!!!!

MaxHart85231281734137 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 ok ok ok...wait just one minute here, yes the poll is about if you want yellow or cherry, but I think you need to put that trans white up there too, we need to get to the bottom of this!!!!!! what store did you get the white one from? must be a limited run for just that company?

brianh Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Max, I don't think the white one is part of the current production run, at least not in the Us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxHart85231281734137 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 well i do believe that our padnah Matt1039 resides right here in the U.S. form a lil town called Hotlanta, I was suggesting that is it one of those limited runs epiphone does for smaller retailers like the 1959 Epi Dot that no one got to see there some association that several small music merchants belong to that epi makes them things to there specs, it might be called american music merchants or somthin like that u dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I got one a month ago in trans-white. I'll keep it. He didn't say whether it was new or used.... Or whether he got it at Moe's Pawn Shop or Ye Olde Big Box Retailer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxHart85231281734137 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 ding ding ding... round two! A single cut. Check it out. I took that photo right after I got it, so the stickers are still on it. stickers still on it means new right? go look back at his picture, im telling you , epi makes models that dont get in there catalogs, or website, or even to the main stream super seller stores, Musicians friend has some specialy made for them some times too I found it!!!!!!!! the association is called the AIMM they have a deal with epi and get custom models made to go out to their stores heres a thread that has that dot I was talking about scroll down and you will see it, I am willing to bet that this is the deal with this guitar............almost heres the thread http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12842 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpiEric Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Here's mine that came today, too. Sorry for the horrible camera phone pic. Hope to get some better ones this weekend! Like brianh I had some buzz on the high E - had to adjust the bridge as the action was way too low on the treble side. Overall, very impressed with the workmanship and this thing is light! It sounds great through my Micro Cube, but I got home too late to try it through my Boogie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflepfan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Cherry...because that is not "TV Yellow".......that is Banana Yellow!:) +1 And the Cherry has wood grain, too! Banana Yellow! Love that!

There are five shops in the area. The salesman said that it was only being sold by independently owned stores and that it would not be available at Guitar Center or Sam Ash. Now they are available on musicians friend, but only in the two colors. Epiphone may be only releasing other colors to the independent guys.

Saljam Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well, UPS showed up today with two boxes..... one was the Epi case I ordered. The other box was some other goofy case that I did not order.... No TV Yellow LP Special. Musicians Friend screwed up and will be sending the guitar out today. Fun stuff. I usually have a great experience with MF but not this time.

Sadly, I live in Kansas City, so I have to pay tax on stuff from Musician's Friend. But the upside is that it comes fast! The other box was some other goofy case that I did not order.... No TV Yellow LP Special. Saljam - sorry about your guit. Hopefully they'll turn it around quickly. prolife - Bananaman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called customer disservice and got the royal runaround. Finally got it starightened out, but lost a lot of confidence in their shipping dept. after that. So sorry you haven't got your TVYLPJRSC yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
