I like the way they look, but I'm not really in the market for a new guitar or anything really besides a roof over the ol' noggin.

Those look very nice. I'm all set w/ my Callisto's at <1/4 the price.
I wonder what they weigh.

No love. It's not exactly "vintage for all" when they don't even include lefties.

Gearlist: A few LP's, a Strat, a Tele and a few acoustics.

Those are actually somewhat intriguing to me, which I’ve rarely ever said about an epiphone. Especially since they are using the rounded neck profiles and not the square/flat D.

If you consider that a 3100 from Rondo is now $550, this model with the high quality USA burstbuckers and other electronics doesn’t seem too outrageous at $800. Also comes in a hard case apparently.

Here you go... Only $600 (the others are $800 and $900), and it comes in any color you want... as long as it's black.

You're welcome. :lol:

Those LPs are nice, and I don't think the price is bad, though that's probably the upper limit of what I'd consider spending on an Epiphone that's not an Elitist. It would be a tough call if I were trying to decide between that and a 3200MCC. You'll drop over $600 on the Agile after taxes and shipping, and then the cost of a case and better pickups will bring you pretty close to the cost of the Epiphone.

Fortunately, I'll never have to make that decision, since I'm not that big a fan of LP style guitars anymore. :|

You're speaking my language now! :twisted:


Edit to add:
I do still need a tobacco burst though...

Small correction
3100 = $450-470
3200 = $550
Plus shipping. Plus case. Nevermind then, I guess your math adds up after all.

Those usa Burstbuckers are $150 used, and much more new.

I don't see myself getting one new, but the value is there. Assuming some level of QA, this would hold up against a Gibson right out of the box.

ONLY $600?!?!
Maybe for a gibson and only if it wasn't painted. I missed out on a faded with the ebony fb and moon inlays for that price
I skipped over a epi korina for 300 a while ago. I probably should have got it. But really it feels silly to spend over $200 on a simple triangle slab of wood when I got a spalted semihollow FF that plays outstanding for $200.

Yeah, sure doesn't look like a $600 guitar, does it? That's how much my Epi LP Custom cost a few years ago (not what I paid for mine, of course, but that was the street price at the time. :-D ), and at least you got a carved top, binding, flame veneer, etc...

I found one yesterday at the local GC and jumped on it. I love it.
