Bluesbrekr Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've been having GAS for this guitar for a while. Ordered it tonight. I was disappointed in that it was only available in cherry. I would have liked the TV yellow. Oh well, I'm a huge fan of the P90's. Can't wait to get it. Pics to follow after it arrives.... BTW, for anyone who already has this guitar, what are your thoughts?

Lazerface Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Diggin the no pickguard. Only thing that would make it better would be getting rid of the neck pickup and that horrendous looking switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Very nice guitar at a great price, with discounts shouldn't cost much more than $100, good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 HNGD! Who says you need a Three-Grand $$ Guitar to play Rock-N-Roll!!!??? Looks like a lot of fun for very little cash! The Melody Makers have already proven that a slab of wood and a well fitted neck can make an awesome guitar from simplicity... Your new Epi Special will likely be no exception for you I am sure. Get it set-up to your liking and make the tweaks you need, if any, and Enjoy the heck out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 There's $20 off orders of $99+ until midnight, code "20OFF". Ah.........I need to check my SPAM folder more often; that's where many coupons end up......You were gone so long Rob that I obtained two new amps, and four new stomp boxes......... Yes, great guitar for the money....Very playable, and hey, two P-90s, sweet deal from Epi......... ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretter Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 For less than the price of two P-90s, you get a good guitar with two P-90s. You just can't go wrong here. I got one a while back and I am not at all disappointed. This guitar can scream with some pretty good sustain. I got a Leo Quan styled badass bridge for it and ordering a new set of tuners. Plan to change poys and cap soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Wow, that a lot of guitar for short coin, congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesbrekr Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks for the props, guys. I'll surely replace the tuners. I had the same type on an SG Junior and they didn't stay in tune very well. Thinking about adding a pickguard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 You wouldn't think they could sell a guitar with 2 P-90s at that price and still make money on it-well bought-Congrats and with those pups she should sing real pretty regardless of the low price.

Bluesbrekr Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 The guitar arrived today. My GF was home and texted me. I'll open it when I get home and take some pics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesbrekr Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ok, here's a link to the pics.... http://s1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/Bluesbrekr1/ On first 'acoustic' playing, the neck is a bit 'flat' I'll need to adjust the truss rod for a bit more bow. Everything looks good. No defects or flaws that I can see. I really love the 'stripes' in the finish on the front and back. The whole guitar is a matte or flat finish. I love that feeling on the neck. More info after I plug her in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That's a really good looking guitar! A lot better than my flat blacky. I think I'm going to sand that down sometime later and put a natural finish on the top. So, I went out and I played a Gibson 60s tribute with P-90s, it sounded great! But, I gotta say that the Epi Special runs a decent second. You're going to like your new guitar. Ah heck! Now I have some major gas going for that Gibby. Might just have get it next time GC offers up the 150 off. P-90 LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesbrekr Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'll be plugging it in a bit later when I get home. fretter....what tuners did you have in mind for replacements?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I just can't make up my mind. That's what's really holding up the modding that I have in store for this guitar. I'm leaning toward Grover locking tuners but kinda want to keep it simple.
