Used Epi LP Custom Silverburst?


KVL

Recommended Posts

Hey gang, I found a used Epi LP Custom Silverburst at a local GC for $499. Cosmetically, it's near mint and for the 5 minutes or so I played it, it played very well. It also felt very hefty and it certainly has the LP mojo.

 

 

Does that sound high, or is that a decent price?

Hey!

 

If the guitar spoke to you, then maybe there is just something special aboput it.

 

However, I suggest you get on over to your nearest Guitar Center. There you can get a brand new (with warranty and a 30 day return policy) Epiphone Les Paul Custom pro in silverburst. That's with the upgraded pickups and coil splitting for only $100 dollars more (or only $10 more if you go on the GC site first and print yourself the %15 coupon).

 

Play the new one. You might just like the used one better and if so, go for it. The price is a bit high on the used though ... by about a $100.

 

Good luck!

+1, I've got the new Silverburst Custom Pro, has Probuckers w/ Coil tapping as stock pups, and also Grover Tuners.

IMHO and personal experience, I've found the new Custom Pro to be better in value and upgrades.

The kids got me a GC gift card for my birthday, so I went in just to kill some time and grab a strap for the Casino. I saw it and said WTH, and picked it up. It did have Grover's & speed knobs, but I didn't think to check if they were splitters. They were closing soon so I just grabbed the strap & left.

 

I'll probably pass. Check this follow up thread....
