Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar (RH) - Vintage Sunburst
Item History & Price
Up for auction is a Epiphone Les Paul Special II VE (vintage Edition) electric guitar, in "Vintage Sunburst" color finish. Play orientation: Right-handed, 6-String.
I purchased this guitar new as a practice electric guitar that I wouldn't mind travelling around with. But since purchasing it I've come across an opportunity to buy another electric guitar that I've had my eye on. Unfortunately I will have to let this one go as it now won't get as much use with me as it should.&nbs...p;This guitar is very lightly used, and in overall great condition. The only minor flaws are on the back of the headstock where the tuning pegs are (see last photos).I prefer locking tuners, way better than the basic stock ones. So I installed some vintage replica Epiphone/Gibson style locking tuners on this guitar, which hold their tune & look great, but they dont fully cover up the tiny screw holes from the stock tuners. Not an issue other than you would notice it visually, but does not effect playability at all. You could easily fill them with black wood filler if you really wanted to. There were also very small chips around a couple of the tuning pegholes from when I removed the old tuners, but they have been filled in, and are even under the trim of the new tuners anyways. So again, not an issue with any playability, or cosmetically. Just making it known to be descriptive.Other than that, there are no imperfections or issues with the rest of the guitar body, AT ALL. Very clean.
This would make a perfect practice, beginner or even full time easy players guitar, at a discounted price (retails at $180). Some quick upgrades of value to the guitar include:
- Fully copper shielded cavities at both pickups (helps reduce any amp feedback)
- lemon oil treated fretboard- Locking vintage tuning pegs
- D'Addario light strings - 10's(About $50-$60 worth of work)
Guitar will be packed & shipped with all of its original paperwork @ adjustment tool, in the original shipping box. Shipping is via FedEx Ground, only to USAThanks for looking!
