Monson Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Just wondering......Does Epiphone have another guitar similar in size to that of an EL00; one which you folks have had experience with?....thanks in advance -BB Epiphone still makes the E-00. I got one from Musicians Friend and I'm delighted. I owned a Gibson LG-1 for a while and this one is very similar. It has a narrow (1.65 I think) nut and 24 3/4 scale. It has a large bout (15 1/2") which gives it more bottom than you would normally get from a small parlor guitar and great tone. I have no complaints about mine. The only thing I did was replace the pegs with ebony and the nut and saddle with TUSQs. I took it to my Luther for the usual set up but it didn't really need much as he said. I'm really impressed by it. I've been playing for 47 years and this one is my favorite knock around guitar of all time. It's like my harp, goes where I go and sounds great with bottleneck and open tunings. It's a finger picker and a good old time blues guitar. The price is great too. I paid $299.00 for it.

ozigor Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm looking at buying an El-00 here in france. The guitar has a "used" sticker on the back of the headstock and the last two numbers of the serial number have been blacked out. The seller says this is because it was end of stock instrument from the US. Could anybody give me some info here if this might be true or not. The guitar looks authentic and in perfect shape. Also how does this short scale and narrower neck compare to a "3/4" size guitar? Thanking you in advance Ozigor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no telling why. Often, guitars with these marking were rejected by Epiphone QC for some small reason, and sold to a Refurbisher, who corrected the problem. Guitars with a "2" on them usually have only cosmetic issues, and are sold with an Epiphone warranty. That's been my experience, anyway.

burlyblack Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Regardless..... in my opinion if you can get an EL00 in pristine condition, I would snag it. In the middle of Canada I had to wait 6 months for mine. good luck. I have another on order rite now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozigor Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The serial number on this guitar is SW060708## (last two numbers blacked out). Could at least know the factory where it was made?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryced Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Had mine for quite a few years now. korea model. Actually came with a case. Love at first sight and strum. Pretty as a picture and sound to match IMO. It was for my forlorn attempts to sound like Robert. Actually its my go to guitar everything really. The size is perfect and it just gets better with age. Great fun. Guitars can come and go but not this one. I have tried, bought, had fun and parted with more expensive guitars, but this love never dies. Not sure what the quality is these days but mine was an absolute bargain. I bet they are still pretty well made and you can't beat the price.
