I saw one just like the one below at a local pawn shop today. It's a set neck made in Korea Epi.The one I saw looked near mint and seemed to be to be all original. They want $250 for and won't go any lower cuz they just got it in yesterday.Know anything about these?



I found a youtube video of the same kind of guitar

Too much. I wouldn't pay more than $150.

That is the worst thing I've ever seen.

Haha,I think it is kewl...

No seriously, I watched a programme tonight where women from the Congo were giving accounts on how their fathers were held at gunpoint and made to rape their daughters by local militia, one of them refused and had his eyeballs plucked out before they cut his ears off and then killed him.

That still pales in comparison to how awful this thing is.




(obviously I'm joking, I was deeply affected by said programme.)

I cannot unsee this. I am not happy with this situation.

This is why the 80s and early 90s sucked. This. Not just this but the line of thinking that spawned this guitar. It sums up just about everything that is wrong with everything.

CAMERON'S BRITAIN.

There's nothing wrong with that guitar that a can of spray paint can't fix. And I like the inlays.

That was almost my first guitar purchase.

I'm down with it. Not for 250 though

I'm filing this one under "I'd play it ironically."

This looks like basically the same thing. He doesn't have very nice things to say about it, but then he doesn't seem to like Epiphone in general.

You know a guitar had iffy marketing when what seems to be WTR musing on them, maybe gearing up to post a Swamp Thing video or something, turns out to be their actual official name.

These were made in 2001 and 2002 as part of the E-Series. Some of you may remember this "pierced SG" disaster from the same series.



The E-Series actually pervaded Epi's entire range. They remarketed the bolt-on LP Special II and SG Special II as the "Bully" and "Basher" respectively, and other V/Explorer takes such as the "Slasher" and "Beast"... they all sounded like Beano characters to me.

This is also when they had the "USA" E-Series guitars, which included shred-ready takes on ill-fated Gibson designs like the Moderne and Futura



Here's the most tasteful finish offered on the Nuclear Extreme, which is not to say I like it though it kinda reminds me of an Italia or something.

no "Rapist" LP Junior?

I like the headstock and inlay on it. The white bowling ball material one posted above looks nicer.

Yes and the Apollo and the Comet too.

THAT was in the same series? I saw one of those hung up for £150 in cash generator a year ago in mint condition and very, very nearly borrowed an extra £20 off a mate so I could spend my entire fortnights dole on it. I loved it. Pearloid Les Paul! But yeah, I had no idea what it was or whether it was legit. I just can't believe it was part of the same clown-rape-abortion as the yellow and black infected vaginal discharge in the original post.

How bougt this?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Perhaps just right this instant, I want that guitar more than anything else on this Earth.

I actually just put one of those "Les Paul" TRCs on one of my homemade DC Juniors, originally buying it for my real Gibson Standard to get teh Bloomfieldz.

But fucking hell, what a guitar, what a pic.

Those early 2000's epiphones with that E logo with wings are some of the worst pieces of shit I have ever laid hands on. I remember when MARS Music was still around and I would go in there and fuck around on everything. I could hardly play but that series put a bad taste in my mouth real quick.
