You already got a C-1 Black [read your sig]. Tried the Omen? Or Michael Kelly's?
Good luck.

Am VERY open to trades.

LOL....Do you honestly think anyone in their right frame of mind would even consider trading a Les Paul for that??? :lol:

If I had that and someone was offering to trade a Paul, I wouldn't hesitate for a second as even if I hated Pauls with a passion, the value of it completely superceeds the value of any ML!!

I'm not looking to screw around swapping this guitar for that so I can start all over again. I am looking for 25.5" scale...most Les Pauls are 24.75

I'm not looking to screw someone over by taking a $2000+ guitar even over for mine.

I'm not interested in taking a $2000 Les Paul, by trading mine and paying another $1500

Last I saw on E-bay, these MLs go for around $950...though an odd dealer might have one left here or there at a good discount (Retail is 1275...but who ever pays retail)

If someone REALLY wants this ML, and has a nice Les Paul (not one of equal value...then I'd be back to square one) and was willing to loose out on the deal, I could trade...but I don't see that happening, and I don't encourage it either.

BTW, not ALL Les Pauls (by Les Paul, I mean that body shape...thick single cut) cost $2000+

I doubt there would be any logical trade for something like that.

No if you had a $2000 Les Paul...you wouldn't trade for this even up

LOL....Note the name "Epiphone" I got an Epiphone LP for $299.00 No comparison to the Gibson $2000.00 + LP's I own... Like comparing a Golf Cart to a Maserate :wink:

Yeah, you got the LP-100 right? The steps-up from that one aren't bad though. The Standard plus top is what I play mostly, and it actually sounds pretty good.

Note: I said nothing about Gibson (who owns Epiphone). It's still a Les Paul ;-)

Posted: **Tue Feb 24, 2009 5:50 pm**

Epiphone is outsourced and mass-produced by less expensive means. Construction and quality are often sacrificed for price. There's no denying that.

Posted: **Tue Feb 24, 2009 7:17 pm**

Nope, not denying that...but they are still Les Pauls.

Posted: **Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:10 pm**

Gee.... Epiphone also makes Strats.... If Gibson owns Epiphone... Does Fender also own Epiphone.... Damn... I'm confused!

Posted: **Wed Feb 25, 2009 5:19 am**

hmmmm....can't find any Epiphone strats at guitarcenter

Posted: **Wed Feb 25, 2009 8:36 pm**

Sorry..ur right...went there today They are in the same area as the Eppy's.. I thought they were same company...they were mexican strats...

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:09 pm**

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2009 5:04 pm**

Nope, wouldn't have made that trade.

Thatnx for the post, I forgot I even had it up here.
