jeffv145 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am looking at buying this guitar and I want to know about what it's worth: A natural finish gold hardware 1970s Epiphone with the Gibson style mustache headstock, bolt on, in very good condition. He wants 300$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopssorryy Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Would this happen to be the same guitar as this? Not sure on the price, but remember google is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmaker99 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Would this happen to be the same guitar as this? Not sure on the price, but remember google is your friend. Yes, it's the same one I posted about a couple days ago. It's fairly priced at $250-$275, imho, after researching completed items on Ebay and given this one's overall condition and playability (NO ISSUES!). Buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffv145 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks for the info! Crazy to think it's already been on here. I'm looking for a good guitar for gigging, and I need a smooth fast neck. Also preferably thin, How thick was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The local store just had one in and slapped a price tag of $299 on it meaning you could probably snag it for between $250 and $275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played the newer set neck Indonesian Wilshire reproductions for 3-400$, is this similar? I need to make sure that this is what I'm in the market for before I make a day out of going to check it out. My hands are tiny and neck speed in pretty important. Also we're talking Japan epiphone right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopssorryy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The thread it was originally posted in says it was a Japanese Epi yes. You might want to shot musicmaker99 a PM and ask him all the questions you have. Would probably be much quicker than posting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want fast? Ibanez Wizard neck (1 or 2)....or a Fender Telecaster FMT HH (I just sold mine last week). I know in Uptown where theres an Ibanez RoadStar for $150 in pristine condition. It's not a wizard neck but it's very nice and inexpensive (and Japanese made). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopssorryy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 If you find a Epi/Gibson neck to big, Strats necks are a good place to go. Epi/Gibsons tend to put Baseball bats on their guitars, so I could understand the hand issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
