So this git, with an accompanying Epiphone EPSC210 2 channel 2x30 W dual 10" speaker solid state amp suddenly fell in my lap. they were sent to me for appraisal in mostly non-working, poorly adjusted condition. So a coupla springs, a fully loaded Fender Custom Shop Tex Mex pickguard later...I got me a new axe. Muahahaha has!

Yeah, I thought you might like this, Pick!

yup  . i  recently picked up a epi sg special , with  case  and univox amp   for 150.

you  may  notice   on  a few  forums   many folks say  that  the sg  specials are   just as  good as  the  standaed  ,  or   that  they   like    them even  better  , and  in some cases , selling  the  standard and  picking up  a few  different  epis  as  replacements  . 

 not  sure  on the other  models  ..  but  i  know  the sg specials  have a good  rep. 

nice SG

thanx man . it   plays  like  butter  . 

And you drive around with it in your Chevy-Chrysler-Ford?

Cool!

Great score Oily! Epiphone has made some really good quality guitars. 

Yeah, this turned out to be a 1995 S-310. There's not many of them around on eBay or the other forums, and the Epi hockey stick headstock should turn some heads when I play out with it. I got a black-white-black 3-ply pickguard with white Tex Mex pups and white knobs to replace the non-working PITA stock pups, and also got a new whammy bar, some more tiny screws, and 3 more trem block springs in case I decide to put bigger strings on it. The neck needs just a smidge more relief. The previous owner had no clue how to adjust the spring tension on the trem block, nor how to adjust the individual saddles for intonation and compensation, and had stripped out one of the two bridge anchors. When I got it, the trem block was angled severely forward toward the headstock, the strings were sitting 3/4" above the 17th fret, and a coupla mm above the first fret, and the electronics didn't work at all. It was basically unplayable. So I offered them $80 for the git, and $50 for the amp, then got them to toss in a cheap wah, bright pink 15' 1/4" cable, and a decent Korg analog tuner. Right now, the amp is selling used in tweed config for maybe $80; this one is a 95 blackface with black Tolex, and at first, every single knob on it was frozen up tight.

They actually thought they were gonna get 100's of dollars for the whole thing, because the guitar, in Silver metalflake, was "pretty."

So now I have another git to mod, and an OK amp I can keep or sell.

It's been a good week. :-)

That guard and pups you have will look nice and sound good.

Save the old pups for CBG's or send them to me. :)

Good deal
Guitar Center has a Epiphone Les Paul Speacial(2-P90's or 2-HB's) on sale now for 99bucks.

Nother pick of the body with the old pickguard
