Hungrycat Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 They are discontinued. Used is the only option. Keep on lookin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yes disco'd a few years ago. It took me a while to find one on eBay - you can expect to pay $300 to $350 used in good condition. They are GREAT guitars, although for that kind of money you could get a really nice Agile LP copy or a brand new Epi Special SC which has the same set-neck and body dimensions as the '57 RI but is a more versatile guitar with two P90s instead of one... If it has to be a one-pickup guitar, the Melody Maker is also current and selling for about $490: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MelodyMakVS/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 There's a 2 pickup Melody Maker as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7C Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Some stupid Epiphone guy cancelled them before I could get one. I think they were probably too much competition for the cheapest Gibson Juniors. 7C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLG Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Thanks guys I think that Epiphone SC looks like a good back up if I can't find one. Do they sell those in UK and do they do a yellow finsih?? (I am told that importnat...don't ask mw why lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I looked at Thomann and didn't see them, but you might want to investigate further. Maybe Peter (paruwi6172) in Deutschland can comment. Here's a thread about them: http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=14419 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongMan Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Do they sell those in UK I saw at least the red one at Digital Village (dv247.com). and do they do a yellow finsih?? (I am told that importnat...don't ask mw why lol) Yep, it's a limited edition called 'True Vintage' (for whatever reason). Music Store Cologne (Germany) has both the red and the yellow one in stock. http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/EUR/Guitars/Paula-models/Epiphone-Les-Paul-Special-SC-Ltd-Edit.-True-Vintage/art-GIT0017662-000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
