Non-warmoth NGD

[ThtOthrPrsn]

I was out and about at guitar center when this beauty simply popped off the wall at me!
I originally planned to build a warmoth LP but unfortunately missed the unforeseen deadline.
Plus, at just a little more than 500, there was NO WAY I could pass this thing up!
Now I have a great toy to help pass the time till my tele neck comes in :icon_biggrin:

nice.  Epiphone is making some killer looking tops on their Les Pauls.

Thanks! I was surprised at how good of quality the top was!

Used or Epiphone?

It's a new, Epiphone Plustop Pro.

Hmm.. Can the headstock of an Epi be cut down to a Gibson shape?

:shifty:

Hmmmm...From the looks of it, I believe so.

Nothing wrong with the Epi headstock. 

It could be cut but matching up that poly finish would be a b!t€h.

Nah, a total refin would be in order.

Get some hideous stain on that mofo.

Tough to refinish an Epi.  The top is a lam top.  Very thin and easy to sand through.  And the poly is almost bullet proof. 

Leave it an play the hell out of it...maybe add some killer pickups

Already looking into a set of Bare Knuckle Cold Sweats or Crawlers  :icon_biggrin:
