IanMak3103 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi guys, have been away for a while, as I was busy with work and other stuff, also was trying to fix up my computer, as it's BLOODY SLOW!!!! Anyway, I have heard rumors about Epiphone will be launching a Studio in Ltd Edt of Silverburst? I think I also saw on Musician's Friends' web, too! Is this true? I know Gibson's got a Studio in Silverburst, is it highly likely for Epiphone to do the same? Can anyone tell me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiEric Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yes, there's an Epiphone version of the Les Paul Studio in Silverburst in the Studio Deluxe line. It looks like it's in-stock and ready to ship at Musician's Friend and Music123. I don't know if it is available at any Australian dealers, but those are the only two online stores I could find that have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMak3103 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Geez, I really hope they'll sell them in Oz! I really wouldn't mind buying one, in fact, I want to buy one! As I really loved this colour from the first time, and most of all, the studio versions would be much cheaper, and hence, worth as a collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 its actually part of the Ltd Ed. 1966 G-400 Reissue line. I dont think there is a Studio Deluxe line of G-400s. The Les Paul is part of the Custom line. G-400 http://www.musicians...electric-guitar Les Paul http://www.musicians...les-paul-custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMak3103 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yeah, we're talking about the Epiphone Les Paul Studio Deluxe Silverburst. Is it a new guitar that just came out? Or has it been around for a while? I really hope they can have this is Oz!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSAR Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It is new, I think it was added to the MF site about two weeks ago, give or take a few days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw it's new on the Guitar City catalog too! Just this weekend, they're having the special. If it's new, I think there might be a better chance for it to come to Oz!! I'm crossing my fingers and hoping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMak3103 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Ian, You should consider getting one shipped from the U.S. Rob can key you in on the 'benefits' & 'how tos' Cheers, Well, I have tried to find a few sites, and they seemed to be restricted by Epiphone and cannot ship anything to Oz, such as Musician's Friend, Guitar City, Music 123, etc... Also, those are the only 3 US stores I've found that guitar Already done a few weeks back. EDIT: it's my mission to send AMI broke because of their greediness. Haha, that's a BIG mission to accomplish, mate! Hope u'll succeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz I had a look at this as well, while I was searching last time! After I was convinced the other one was 99% fake, I saw this was quite similarly fake, too! That's why it rings the bell!

animalfarm Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 At $349.00 the Studio Deluxe is definitely worth the investment. I bought my Studio back in 2008, and still have it, and at that time there was NO "Deluxe" version available, with the Fretboard Inlays or Tulip Tuners. I spent $349.00 back then for a more "plain jane" version. I ended up upgrading the D-Tip Factory Grovers to Gibson Tulips, and though I LOVE my Studio, I still look at the fretboard and wish it had Inlays. I've been researching doing your own inlays. To pull it off will require additional investment in TOOLS, Materials, and time. Or, one could just buy a DELUXE STUDIO nowdays. Can't help it - A LP should have fretboard inlays!!!! But, I STILL think I have a sweet-looking Git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSAR Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hmm, thanks for the gas attack AF, I do agree the trap. inlays would be nice... Epi should discontinue their current studio, and have the Worn Studio Deluxe in it's place, with the same colours as the current Studio, then add a Vintage Sunburst to the normal (current) Deluxe... Imo... An LP Standard Deluxe (with mini HBs) would be nice too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 At $349.00 the Studio Deluxe is definitely worth the investment.

But, I STILL think I have a sweet-looking Git. I have to say I GASSED over the Epiphone version when they had one in Liverpool So I bought this version at £600! (Same price as an Epi Tribute Plus) The recent price drop certainly helped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMak3103 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Have been busy for the last few days, but finally can find time 2 update. I've asked one of my local store a couple of days ago, to give AMI a ring & confirm whether this guitar will be introduced in Oz. I've tried to contact AMI myself, but no reply at all! Apparently, according to the sales guy at the shop, they won't reply to anyone if there not from a store or gibby's franchise, how rude!! Anyway, will drop by the store after work tmr, so hopefully will have some more news to update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So I don't get any credit for mentioning this exact guitar in the first reply of the thread? ;) I will put your name on there as well. Sorry about that. If you would have posted a link you would have gotten all of the credit for it. For some reason I thought you were talking about the SG silverbust. Not sure why. Maybe because the OP didnt specify and I had just gotten done editing the SG page. If you read my fist post in the thread you will see that I was a little confused about which guitar was being asked about. Sorry it took so long to respond. We didnt have power from Saturday night until Tuesday evening and the internet just came back on at work today. Its a mess around here. I've never seen so many trees through peoples' roofs in my life. Let me tell you, theres nothing like standing outside in your bare feet when a transformer in the neighbor's back yard blows and at the same time a ground line to the electric pole snapped next to my house about ten feet from me. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
