I just should start visiting pawn shops........
Weird that the guy thought it was a fake, considering the info is out there and has been since long before the wiki. How long ago did you buy this guitar?
Nearly $1000 is too much for these guitars IMO. I mean, they are definitely cool with such a history but Gibson sells brand new stripped down models like that for well under $1000. I've had GAS for those but once I saw what they go for I was cured. Anyway I could never limit myself to just a bridge PUP; I'd have to route a neck.
They do seem a bit expensive, dont they? I think that part of the price includes the history aspect of these guitars. Even though that history is limited and widely unknown, I think you are paying for not only a vintage guitar, but also the privilege of owning a one of the last Epiphones and non-custom shop Gibsons from Kalamazoo. Obviously, this means more to some people than others. Here in Michigan, it probably means more to a Gibson fan than in Tenessee.
I'd like to see Epi doing a reissue of this model....
fitted with a P-rail it could be a monster....
A p90 version would be pretty cool too.I'd just like them to do a reissue of this model - as long they stick with the set neck and didn't turn it into a Bolt on neck "Special Version)
A p90 version would be good but wouldn't be a spirit it would just be a LP Jr Double Cut and epiphone have already made those. I personaly think (and this will probably cause me no end of grief) is that Epiphone should some it's more obscure models in updated form I agree with @Paruwi that this model or the 2 pickup Spirit II would be fantastic loaded with p-rails would be great, much better than the countless so called limited models they put out -
