An Epiphone LP traditional with white knobs ?

[Daniel L]

Hi,
I have a picture of an Epiphone Les Paul Traditional red wine, but with whites knobs. ??? ... White buttons? Ugly as hell !
The man that own this guitar said that this is a Limited edition Epiphone Custom shop.
Which model is this ?

I 've made a research but found nothing about this guitar ... is this a good guitar & what is his range price (used one) ?

The man is lying....

Welcome here @ €piTalk


It looks like a 'regular' TradPro to me with aftermarket knobs

for the value of it as a used one it always helps to know where you are located

Don't be fooled by any "Custom Shop" circular stamp on the back of the headstock. Epiphone does not have a custom shop. Those stamps are put on many guitars in the factory. My Les Paul Special I ($149 US) has one.

The white knobs look awful. But a set of cream ones is not expensive.

Ditto the above

knobs were added later. those mos def didn't come stock.

Maybe He was probably fooled by the custom shop logo himself, thinking it was kind of special instrument.
Here in Greece, I see that more often than not....

Would look better if the knobs matched the cream pickguard and the pup rings (imo).

Shit, this is a very good advice & information...thank you so much ! ...So the man is a great liar ?

 

[Daniel L]

Ok Thank you all ... i still do not know what kind of epiphone is this, but i will not buy this guitar !

Let's not get too hasty.... What does he want for it?

 

[elephantrider]

knobs are a super easy change. that guitar actually looks pretty nice,
with that exception.

i wouldn't kick it out of possibly buying it over the knobs.

Hi. Canada

... & are you sure those knobs aren’t just frozen Daniel???

A liar yes, a great liar not hardly or he would have passed it off as legit. Don't give up on it as of yet just like everybody has stated, its a good looking guitar and the knobs would definitely be replaced.

When I bought my G400 I bought a some cheap Chinese speed knobs off eBay in different colors I thought I'd like. Black, clear, silver.... In my case I liked silver best. I don't think I paid $5 for all three sets either. When I replaced the electronics I knew what color inch-spec knobs I wanted because of those cheapies.

The MIJ "Wave-Embossed" speed knobs she currently wears.

I actually like the knobs, but of course they don't go with the rest of the trim.

Change the knobs to match the rest of trim, or change the rest of the trim to match the knobs. Either would look good. Knobs are cheap and easy to swap.
