Epiphone LPs

Re: Epiphone LPs

no. most lps have transluscent finish. all the sunbursts ived seen have transluscent finish except the joe perry sig. and the black burst i think which have solid colored backs along with the white custom and the black beauty.the gold tops have dark brown transluscent finished back.

Really... I've been around quite a few LPs... I've seen some with transclucent all around... but... I've seen a lot with opaque finishes on the back and necks... ah, well. Maybe we've each seen a differant breed of epiphones.

but most LP's come from the same factory... but, there are frequent line changes... so... ah, well. Don't think I'm being a jerk, I was just curious how you knew.

actually... the only real gibby's I've played are a slew of explorers, a few SG's, a few Jumbo acoustics and one flying V. I was never too impressed with those, so, to try and keep my illusions, I only try epi LP's and believe the gibbys are twice as nice, at least.

Didn't know about the 2 factories in china. I knew they had a few in korea. But, aren't the special models and the strat models built in the samick factory, too?
