Description
Brand: Epiphone By Gibson MPN: Does Not Apply


A superb 20-year old "Made in Korea" Epiphone "V" in excellent condition. No belt rashes or nasty scratches. It is super light and a delight to play. Took off the Epi logo and I have replaced with an embossed replica of the 58-59 Gibson logo. The bridge is correct to Gibson and does not have the screw-in bridge typical of Epi guitars to lower and heighten the bridge. That was not an add-on - that was already there. The frets are great as it has had very little play. All original.   I have owned many epi V's (at least 15+) and sold them all - except this one. I held on to this one. This is without a doubt the best Epi V that I have ever owned.  Sad to part with it. Late 90's Korean made Epiphones are truly the best there ever was. It looks and feels the part and the pickups are excellent. I hope it finds a great home.   The previous owner drilled a small hole at the back to accommodate the strap pin. I put the pin back where it was originally. Some prefer the pin at the back. In the last image, you can see the pin hole at the bottom of the image.     Comes in a brand new padded gigbag.
