Skruch Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I just bought a new ES-339 from GC and it came with nada. I wrote Gibson CS as to what the truss rod adjustment size should be. They told me I should have gotten a bunch of stuff with my guitar and they are sending it to me. Thumbs up Epiphone, thumbs down Guitar Center.

357bullfrog Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just got an Orange Wildkat through Sweetwater. In the box from Epi was a cable, actual owners manual, poster, warranty info. No truss rod wrench. I got the opposite. I got a owners manual a bumper sticker and wrench but no cord. You'd think a guitar costing 564 would at least include a bag or cheap case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campbell Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've got a bunch of Epiphone bumper stickers... ...now if I only had a car to put 'em on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDH Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Our local GC gets in Epi's, and basically throws out the shipping boxes and everything in them because they claim they don't have the room to store any of it. At least that's what one of their employees told me. Not sure if that's the case for other places. I know with Sweetwater, you get everything you're supposed to, plus candy!

Pinch Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm guessing many stores sell Epi's to people who buy one as their first guitar. So I guess some stores feel they can get away with it, and do. I understand the boxes take up space, but at least put the swag bags aside and hand them out with each guitar. No manual and no wrench is, IMHO, unacceptable.

Pinch Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Personally I don't, or att least like to think I don't! I was thinking more of someone who buys his or her first guitar ever. Sure, they could download the manual... but not the truss rod wrench. Plus, it reflects badly on the brand if people get different stuff when they buy the guitar model, IMHO. Just my 2 cents.

burchster Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I may have posted about this on this thread before but I just bought a g400 1966 pro and I got the manual, Allen key sticker and poster. But Epiphone should really update the poster. Turning it over and seeing the discontinued models such as g 400 custom and emperor regent make me kick my self harder for selling my g400 custom....

DaddyTin Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 First post, and first time Epi owner. I have a Gibby SG Special faded, and now have added the G-1275, Alpine White (my lil Swiss Miss). I received the two sided poster, the wrench, the catalogue, and some QR bar codes for not only the Epiphone website but the Epiphone Owners Newsletter (EON). NGD post coming soon to a thread near you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Dunno about the SGs, but my LP truss rod wrench didn't fit. I thought it did (it should, right?), but thanks to the miniature wrench I now have a half-stripped truss rod nut. That's from a single turn. I located a wrench that actually went all the way in and hey presto... Doesn't really matter to me as it works fine with the same-gauge-I-think-but-longer wrench, and I'll never ever sell this guitar anyway, but... c'mon. It's possible that the one I got wasn't intended for the LP - they'd thrown out the box but got me a swag bag from another one - another model? Just thought I'd mention it. Word of caution. This is where my notion of "if I buy a guitar, I want everything that came with it" comes into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXepi Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Got a new Epiphone Slash Rosso Corsa outfit this week. Besides being banged up a little ( 3 way switch tip was bent and case was damaged ) it was missing the pickguard. All other stuff ( bumper sticker,poster, and tool ) was there.

Macronaut Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I just come across this thread and I did not get anything but the guitar with my LP Std. Pro PT. I asked them at Sam Ash when I bought it at the store, about "anything" coming with it (at least some paperwork) and they said no, nothing, which I found a little odd. <_< I do not really need any of this stuff but, if I was supposed to get it, I want it. I just got off the phone with a Epi rep. and he is sending some goodies to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off the phone with a Epi rep. and he is sending some goodies to me. In the 1960s, when a music store was selling guitars that came with nothing at all, it was usually black market. One place in San Diego offered me a discount on an Epiphone Texan if I would go down the street to a competing store that sold bootleg Gibson/Epiphone stuff, try out a few guitars, and then jot down the serial numbers so they could notify Gibson. At age 16, I was too nervous to even try, so I bought the non-bootleg Texan for $169. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I enforced - I think that's the term for it in this case - a swag bag. One comes with every Epi, it's just that they throw them out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 When I bought my LP Standard Epiphone I got the bare guitar and a truss rod wrench, that's it. Sounds like Epiphone dealers are pretty much consistent reading through this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterblues Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Me too! Ordered Sheraton. No case/bag. No sticker. No poster. No truss rod wrench. Whatever. I don't need a sticker. I have played the hell out of this guitar! Refretted twice, upgraded pups, and it's all good. All guitars should come with a case in my opinion.

Epiphone This is very helpful, I thought if you buy one you will just receive a guitar a few cords. Anyway can I please ask if Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a nice guitar? I just read a few reviews but I really want the opinion of those who really understand guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niemepet Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) About month ago I bought an Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Slash Les Paul Standard PRO Premium Outfit with full price. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/140306-signed-2018-epiphone-le-slash-les-paul-standard-pro-premium-in-aaa-acanonda-burst/page__view__findpost__p__1945251 On a day when I bought it, at home I looked at the guitar from the Epiphone's Internet page and find out that the guitar was missing a Slash guitar strap. I asked from the dealer about it and they contacted to the distributor. Today I got answer - they can't deliver a Slash guitar strap to me, because there aren't any spares. A little disappointment, that my guitar isn't complite collector's Edition, but I can't give this guitar away either. The guitar itself is a keeper. I have a little bit mixed feelings right now what I should think about my purchase... Edited August 15, 2018 by niemepet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
