animalfarm Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Posting this so anyone who is looking for new git AND might like Studios won't miss out if they've been waiting to go for it... One of our forum members posted this in another thread, it's too good a price to pass up if you're looking to buy a new guitar, unfortunately won't ship international by either company. I won't say who SHE is, but her Martin HD-28 was recently used by younger folks as a sled to go down a rock cliff...(ahem). GUITAR CENTER LINK: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Epiphone-Limited-Edition-Les-Paul-Studio-Deluxe-Electric-Guitar-105320576-i1449700.gc MUSICIANS FRIEND LINK: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Limited-Edition-Les-Paul-Studio-Deluxe-Electric-Guitar?sku=581254 Anyway, The Epi LP Studio comes WITH covered pups AND Tulip tuners ALREADY, is $299.00 from "Guitar Center", but if you would rather deal with Musician's Friend, CALL THEM, tell them about the G.C. price, they will find it on the net, and MATCH the price. Colors - Wine Red, Alpine White, or Black. Price match means you'll be ordering while on phone with them. The $299 price is BETTER than what I bought mine for in 2008... and mine had black open coil HBs, chrome d-tip tuners, and dots on fretboard instead of Trapezoidal inlays.

So basically you're dealing with the same company. But anyway, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 I "discovered" MF long before hearing about GC, so I already have an account with MF! BUT, yeah, you can tell by noting how similar the websites are. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiEric Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 That is a darn good deal. Where are all those folks on here who are always looking for a first LP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is set up like yours. This is a nicer looking git, but, alas, the Arctic Blue is not available! She Who Must Not Be Named! Edit: Just figured it out - it's a NEW Studio - Limited Edition Deluxe Studio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, then, that MF doesn't have the matching price up on their site. One would think that they would know that their 'sister' store would be selling at 25% off.

animalfarm Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 She Who Must Not Be Named! Ha! Artic Blue is a Good color' date=' I guess EPI just made a LOT of the 3 mentioned. Still, If I had the spare cash, I'd be all over gettin' another Studio for that price. [b']"She who must not be Named":[/b] (BTW, you're welcome to use this for your avatar!) Peter! Good price, thanks for posting it for info! Here's one for your BB King collection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflepfan Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Peter, Very nice! And very lucky for those who can take advantage. Animal, Funny! She looks a bit scary, though! I agree, if funds there, another Studio would be nice. Love those new details. Just not loving the same old, same old colors. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 That is a darn good deal. Where are all those folks on here who are always looking for a first LP! Eric' date=' I agree with you. The entire purpose of this thread was to put out the word - [b']Great guitar, Great price, NEW, Factory warranty, etc,[/b] to those who may be looking for a new git for a GOOD price. I'll admit, the STUDIO isn't "Bling-Bling", but as the old song says - "Let the MUSIC do the talkin'"... My OWN LP Studio is a KEEPER, never let it go. No "Bling", but another forum member recently tried to talk me into a trade - MY Mahog Studio for a 75W Peavey Viper with a Texas Patriot speaker installed. Amp was loud enough for most local club gigs, but after selling 5 of my 8 electrics for "financial concerns", I pased on the deal = no way I will have only ONE guitar. The Amp Sounded great, especially at gig volume. Sorry, I wish I could could "fool myself" into the one - guitar mode, but I can't. Sigh...

tvyellow Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I wish Epiphone would go visit a paint store or two, there's a single coil based guitar outfit they could be taking their cues from :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjael Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 If only they shipped here I would buy like 5 of them white ones. I loves me a White LP with gold and black bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
