Your guitar was made at the Unsung Plant, Korea on February, 2003.
A lot of work was required on the frets and fretboard, this stunning guitar is in near perfect condition, however it has been played a lot and the frets were worn and the fretboard needed a big clean up.
Breakdown of project:
Strip down
Complete clean up of body, neck and hardware.
Fret Level, Crown & Polish to remove divots.
Replace Neck Pickup with a Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday Humbucker in Gold!
Review from Customer
Thank you for the Epiphone upgrade. I’ve tried it out and the new pickup sounds fantastic. I’m a huge Wes Montgomery fan and the Stormy Monday gets very close to that warm percussive tone that you get from a PAF pickup on a Gibson L5. The fretboard work was definitely worth it and it’s now super smooth! Richard
