Ellisdee1 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Would anyone happen to know where to find a North Carolina Tarheels Epiphone. I've been searching and I know they are discontinued but would really appreaciate any help in tracking one down. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toneis everything Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 If you find on let me know. I would love to see pics,(and maybe get one), as I am a huge Heels Fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I would try Ebay. I see those models on there from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellisdee1 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 I've tried ebay but so far no luck. I've found a few sites that did offer all the collegiate guitars at one time but since its now discontinued none of them have them or know how. Hopefully someone will know where to look. Toneis i tried to put a pic up here so u can see what one looks like. Maybe both of us can get lucky and track one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toneis everything Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thanks Ellisdee, your right, that is pretty awesome! Now I have another 1 to add to my serious GAS list! If I find one somewhere I will send you a PM. Happy Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjlandry Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Is there anything else unique about the guitar besides the paint on the body? Seems it might be worthwhile to simply get a used Jr and have it custom painted as you like. Answered my own question. See below. Body and headstock painted in school colors, truss rod cover with school name. ("University of North Carolina", and "Louisiana State University" on the two pictured below.)

cjlandry Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 That gives me an idea. I have an old Epi Jr in my office. I might just remove the body, strip it, and paint it with an LSU theme. I think it would look awesome in purple and gold. :cool: By the way, I looked up "LSU Guitar", and found an old Musician's Friend link. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Collegiate-Electric-Guitar?sku=518717 Here's a full shot of the one you want: This would have been mine: (I think I can do a better custom job for an LSU guitar, though.

Supersonic Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I guess I would require this one then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjlandry Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Shoot! They even came with a special guitar hanger and gig bag! ETA: They also came with a strap, and I found an old ad listing the package for $269.95, so they weren't cheap. I guess there was some sort of team placard behind the glass there. Looks like they were available around 3 years ago. I found the link from a "Tigerfan.com" thread from March of '07. That's kinda neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjlandry Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I guess I would require this one then. I think that's one of the better lookin' ones. I dig the Tide too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpfan Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have found 3 UK Wildcats ones on the local craigslist but the mofo's are asking $300 for a $100 piece of plywood with strings. I bleed UK blue but not enough to shell out $300 bones for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjlandry Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm havin' fun just searchin' around. Here's a group shot I found on a "Modern Guitars" page: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjlandry Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 And if you can't find the guitar, at least you can get a strap or two, and some picks: http://www.playwithpride.com/collections/north-carolina-tar-heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjlandry Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Oh man, the Gators one is hideous LOL Yeah, I think the Longhorns and the Crimson Tide are the only ones that really look halfway decent. Bama looks the best, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah, I think the Longhorns and the Crimson Tide are the only ones that really look halfway decent. Bama looks the best, IMO. I agree, The Texas one does look cool too. I wonder what percentage of these axes were destroyed in fraternity houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
