Pickups are a bit vintage and low powered for me, but it plays beautifully

Post by: WezV on October 14, 2008, 04:42:49 PM: my second ever guitar was an epi LP standard in trans green.. got it for my 17th birthday. That was a cr@ppy flame rather than the great quilt yours has but the colour and overall aestehtics is very similar to this... so i like it a lot!

i found it on sunday in the start of an attempt at clearing out my workshop.. minus all its hardware so i started rebuilding it with better parts (god knows what happened to the original stuff!!)... i can say that green LP's with a cream bridge humbucker and zebra neck look pretty damn cool - something to considerif you are changing the pups

plug time - if anyone wants a 96/97 Limited (to millions) edition Epi LP standard with all parts upgraded for a good price.. i may sell this when she is back together. :)

Post by: AndyR on October 14, 2008, 07:39:25 PM: Looks very tasty - I think zebras would go very well as well (and I usually prefer covers).

I thought for a moment that you'd bought the Feline when I first opened the thread...
