I had considered Feline, and still intend on get somethin made,but I liked the idea of a well worn in guitar  with a bit of history.  Maybe the name does appeal a little bit - even if its just psychological, but to be honest I am impatient person and I dont think I could wait 9 months to have one built! especially as this is a 30th B day present (and unfortunately my 30th b day is not 9 months away!)


I got a gibson that was well worn in, 600 off of ebay, for the model before the studio. slightly more features etc. has the character with some mods that happened in the 80s. and it plays very nice. better than epiphones 'custom shop' for a start atleast

epiphone don't have a custom shop :? and if you're talking about the elitist range; they OWN the US gibsons as far as I'm concerned.

Epiphone do have a Custom Shop line - it produces limited editions such as my '65 SG with vibrola, and the John Sykes Les Paul Custom etc.  They're all made in Korea.

The Japanese Epiphones are called the Elistist range.

meh....I have a 2003 standard (in avatar)  plays great...sounds great...never had any problems with it, I have played many a terrible gibson, but this one surely is not one of them.  I wouldnt say skip over gibson completley..I would however recommend playing it alot before buying it if at all possible.

Dont let the model number put you off but I got an old 1976 Yamaha SG for sale - it's more like a Les Paul with twin cut aways - this one is loaded with Mules too:
