bigneil Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Welcome sounds like you have a very nice instrument, could we see some pictures ? I personally don't have any knowledge on Epiphone hollow body electrics. But, there are plenty of guys here who can help you with your quest for information. As for what it might be worth, eBay is often a good indicator of how much different guitars are selling for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 May be able to help out a bit with History and Value. Value, of course, is based on what the end purchaser is willing to pay, but even I was amazed at the prices being asked in one of the following 2 links. Man, must be SWEET to still have an original!!!! All info found in Epi Lounge DIY thread, "CROSS REFERENCE and COMPARISON" section, Vintage guitar entries. I'll link you directly to the pages that are of interest to you. "VINTAGE GUITAR/BASSES/AMP/EFFECTS Specs and Data" (Many, many, many!) (History at top of page, scroll down to bottom to see current Ebay asking prices) http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/EpiphoneCasino.php "VINTAGE EPIPHONE GUITARS - General Information and Specifications" http://home.provide.net/~cfh/epiphon2.html#casino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take my guitar to I think its called Guitar World and the guy there said he'd give me 5 grand for it and then he'd turn around and sell it for 8. I thought he was kidding but apparently he wasn't. Maybe he was but i wasn't really ready to let it go yet. P.S. thanks for the help guys..

animalfarm Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Sure,as soon as I get off the floor ...I'll take some pictures and upload them. I did take my guitar to I think its called Guitar World and the guy there said he'd give me 5 grand for it and then he'd turn around and sell it for 8. I thought he was kidding but apparently he wasn't. Maybe he was but i wasn't really ready to let it go yet. P.S. thanks for the help guys.. I'm GLAD you now know the value! OFF the FLOOR YET??? I still have the Serial Numbers of 2 GIBSON Les Paul Customs, and 1 GIBSON "The Paul" I bought in 1978 and 1979 (sold eventually), Blows me away regarding value if I still had them!

Whitmore Willy Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Nuzsmerc, Welcome to the forum. Post pics. Can't help with value but I have no doubt it is up there. Maybe you should change your name to Lucky Dog? Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
