[nicolasrivera]

A few days ago i got the oportunity to negotiate this amazing AAA top Epiphone with an ebay seller, its new, comes with a new Epiphone hardcase and with the robot tuning thing... the price was a one time offer i just could not let go.

Is going to be here by the end of February, cant wait.

Did he upgrade the volute, too ?

 

[LucilleNoir]

It says "BAT" !

Is it not supposed to have it? let me know, it is a 2013 Traditional Pro. Ive seen that volute before in some epis i have done repairs to and some others dont have it. Thought it was a normal thing. is it?

Press it and the BatMan logo comes out the headstock!

It is not normal, IMO

they had done it, just not an a MiC

I dunno, if that's counterfeit, it's probably THE nicest counterfeit Epiphone I've ever seen. The volute is kinda throwin' it all off, unless it's something Epiphone decided to do, and not tell anyone...???

Ohh ok, does anything else looks out of place?

Can you get the pics I've asked for...?

Put the Grovers back and sell the robot tuner, kind of sweetens the deal.

No, it will be here in Honduras by the middle or end of February.

I see that volute in this page... http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Electrics/Les-Paul/Les-Paul-Classic-T.aspx but it has no stickers as of where it was made

Here its going to be an easy sell of the system or the whole guitar, many players here cant afford a Gibson let alone the new prices are insane for both the USa and custom shop.

I was wondering the same thing...

It is a completely other model......

 

[RTH]

The Classic-T comes with a volute. We know that for sure.

 

[nicolasrivera]

It is a completely other model......

yes ofcourse. But are 2013/2014 traditional pros exclusibly made in Korea? and not China?

 

[RTH]

The Traditional PRO is also supposed to have uncovered zebra pickups. Something is up with this guitar.

 

[RTH]

The Trad PROs are all Chinese AFAIK.
