Aesthetikz Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi Everyone, There is an Epiphone/Gibson Electric Guitar for sale locally, And I'm interested... But i know nothing about guitars~This would be my first, And i would learn to play on it (If i decided to buy it). Included are pictures of it, After tons of searching online I cannot find an exact match to it. I also could not locate a serial number on it. Any help ID'ing it appreciated!

yoda Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have no idea, i've been searching google. You might want to try the Epiphone forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think that's an EM something... EM-1.. EM-2.. something like that. Or maybe not, lol. Like Yoda said, the Epi forums would know best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetikz Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thanks Guys and Gals! It is indeed an EM-2 Rebel Custom as a couple of the Epi Forums members confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetikz Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well, It wasn't meant to be... It "was" at a local thrift store, Went back today to find it sold. According the Epi guys, It wasn't worth the $300 in that condition anyway~I was hoping it would stick around another week or so and end up at 50% off. :-( I think an employee bought it, The guy who kept showing me seemed interested also and said he plays the guitar.

Thundergod Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 EM-2... gibson made some similar looking guitars too (under the Gibson name). They were the gibby superstrat that should have made it big time IMO but never did. Great guitar IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, the one ive seen at Ruby's guitar store went for $300 and it sold. The gibson ones were awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Funny, the one ive seen at Ruby's guitar store went for $300 and it sold. The gibson ones were awesome though. That one just wasnt worth $300. I've seen EM-2s sell for the same price on Ebay in much better condition...many times. Besides, thrift stores always sell guitars and electronics for more than they are worth. I'll bet that if an employee actually did buy it, he probably paid half of the listed price. Also, think about it this way: This git was at a thrift store. Not a guitar store. That means that more than likely, it was donated and no money changed hands in he aquisition. There are also no techs to evaluate the condition or worth of the instrument, let alone someone there to set it up or repair anything that might be wrong with it. Given that, there is no reason to justify a hefty price tag of $300...the same price you can find a better one at on Ebay, CL, or a local shop....even a pawn shop.
