dawson1488 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hey fellow rockers! I actually joined this forum just to post this one post so here it goes! I actually saw this post the other day (as I was waiting for my Epi LP SC to arrive) and was excited to see the videos and what not. I was also dismayed though that my guitar would be banana yellow instead of the super cool TV Yellow that I was dreaming about. Yesterday I get home from work and slowpitch practice to find my Epi all alone on the doorstep. I placed the box on my table and cut all the tape off. Then of course there was the Epi box inside, as I performed the ceremonious opening of the box, with a little dread about my new banana, I peeked inside and my mouth dropped. To my surprise a kind of grungy yellow, that you could also see the wood grain through the paint, Les Paul was sitting in front of me. I looked at my girlfriend and she innocently said "Wow that doesn't look like banana" and I rejoiced! Mine is definitely not banana!!! I don't know if the pictures give it justice as it's hard to get a good angle to show the wood grain but it is beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Nice work Dawson, looks like you got lucky. The paint on mine makes it look like a factory accessory for this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflepfan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Congratulations Dawson! Very interesting that the very same brand new guitar is coming in with two different finishes.;) Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Am I the only one who really likes the taxi-yellow...? Congrats on the new guitar Briah! She both looks and sounds beautiful to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with the Taxi/Banana Yellow, it's a fantastic looking color! Just a problem with them calling it TV Yellow, because it is not.

Saljam Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 damn... I have the '56 goldtop coming instead of the LP Special I originally ordered... The main reason why I switched it was the yellow color. Looks like I may have 2 P90 guitars soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layboomo Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Sounds like you have an issue with your G string intonation to me? You're not in tune in the demo. Glad you got one with some grain showing through the banana or taxi yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zork Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I really, really like mine now. It's cherry if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got one with some grain showing through the banana or taxi yellow. That's possible' date=' it still has the stock strings on and I haven't intonated it. Been too busy with other things: [img']http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt163/brianehuff/P1010086.jpg[/img] When I get back from my biz travels, I'll get it set up properly and redo the demo WITH some leads....

EpiEric Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 guys' date=' my gibson les paul special arrived last night![/quote'] That is a beauty! Congratulations. Still wish Gibson would sell these directly in the U.S. market! You know, I've always wondered why on the newer non-historics Gibson puts "Junior" and "Special" on the TRC. On all of the older ones it replaces "Model" in the headstock silkscreen. Guess it's easier to change the TRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanH Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Also, I just noticed that the Gibson version also has the tun-o-matic bridge. I thought that was particular to the new Epiphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Adelfio Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I got my Les Paul Special in Yellow two days ago - I love it to death , I was jumping all over the living room with it coming out of my Marshall JCM 900 yesterday , playing along to British Steel . Those P90's cranked up are killer . A previous comment mentened the dye on the fretbord coming off ; which is a drag - but I know that will stop the more I play it . This color is hard to describe - it looks more like a shade of mustard-yellow. regardless, at $ 379 it is well worth it ! It is a well made instrument with no flaws whatsoever ! I have 4 Gibsons, ( 2 LP standards , a 1960 ES 125T and a 70's SG ) ...this is as well made as those are. Of course I will always love the LP Standard....but this is my third Epi - and I love it !

brianh Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Congrats Sal, welcome to the club! Hope you voted YELLOW, it's a close race... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Adelfio Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks for reminding me Brian - I just voted for the yellow ! I'm glad I have it ; it's my third Epi, ( Les Paul Ace Frehley Model , Sheraton and now this one ), maybe get an epi bass next ( ? ) Rock on !!

Zork Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'd like to get a case that fits the Junior thickness. Any ideas? I was going to get the Epi Lester case and put a piece of black fleece blanket (fabric store) in the bottom to compensate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
