Re: NELPD... I'm seeing candy apple red...
I almost bought a modded version of that a few months back, but it had a couple small cracks in the neck and I ultimately decided it wasn't worth the trouble when one of them inevitably broke.
It was a great instrument though, the previous owner replaced the stock pickups with some variety of staples and gave it a trapeze tailpiece.
Nice Yammy by the way, that red finish combined with the tortoise pickguard looks great.

Re: NELPD... I'm seeing candy apple red...
I was originally just browsing around for a good gold top with P90s (since I've never had one), but when I stumbled on a candy red version, I was smitten and started watching a few on ebay. They were Japanese market guitars. I told my dealer about them and he said that Epiphone had just released a very limited run for American dealers, so I told him to grab me one. He had it at the store within a week. I still dunno how much it's gonna run me, because they haven sent him the invoice yet. But he's always fair, so I'm not worried. Then he gave me that Gibson Custom Shop LP case, because he had a spare laying around. That's just like the case that came with my R0.

Very cool! That top candy apple looks like the same shade as my new LP.

Beautiful! That candy red really stands out from the others.
I really wanted one of the sparkle finish Epis that were out a few years back. MIJ is pretty much a guarantee of good build quality.
I have a couple reds in my herd too, plus a candy red & cream
