DLaz Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hey all, New here but not to Epiphone guitars. I've had this Scroll model since 1979, bought it off a kid in the neighborhood for a whoppin' $40, and have hung on to it ever since. I took the liberty of a couple mods, a Dimarzio 2N pickup in the bridge for a little more bite and squawk, along with a coil tap switch and new brass pickup switch and gold schaller keys. It still has the original finish, and a 2 octave neck which is slim as all get out. I couldn't find any info on decifering the serial number though- its on a sticker on the neck plate- Japan-05780313. Anyone got any idea on year of build, I'm guessing '75. Also own a heritage cherry 6/12 string and a vintage sunburst Sheraton 2, which I love to death, the thing plays well and sings like a bird, along with a Sigma acoustic, a charvel acoustic, a Seagull 12 string acoustic made outta cedar, a Strat Deluxe, and a Carvin DC200 Koa. Amps: a Hughs and Kettner 1/2 stack, and a vox 50 watt practice amp. Tried to upload a pic, but file too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSAR Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Here is some info on the scroll series. They were made from '76-'79 I've always thought they were kinda cool, though they aren't the most common of Epis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is a rarity, I've only seen one other like it and it was at a music store in Chicago, years ago it was a blonde model though. I love mine and still play it, its got the weight of an SG but with a full 2 octave neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might help you to get more info on when it was made, though I don't know if that info applies to guitars from that time period... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, still no info on my particular guitar, they're so uncommon and were only produced for 3 years, I guess they never had the wow factor of the others that were available at the time.
