i have the epi lp custom in aged ivory- gibby didn't have it in 2007.
the second best guitar i've ever owned... rf fralin pups,cts pots & caps... better than the gibby artisan i owned.
i'd say the arbor RR proto copy was the best off the shelf guitar i've ever owned....crazy as that may sound.

I wanted to buy that one too, the ivory... but then I saw it was discontinued. I bought a gibson Les Paul Studio white instead! Love it! Only thing I wish it would have is the custom binding... but customs are waay to expensive!

I've seen an epi custom white in a shop once, but the binding was pretty messy, looked like they didn't spent much detail on it. The epi black custom next to it was fine tough!

the binding on mine is nice.there's one tiny spot on the back of the guitar where the horn meets the body that they overdid the paint but you need a magnifying glass to see it.
i see the aged ivory customs on ebay all the time for around $500. mine was $799 new but my wife bought it for me that x-mas because "she gets it". :) .

btw, it was set up perfectly & in tune right out of the box.way to go nashville. :wink:

I have a 2004 Epi Les paul Custom in 'arctic white', (built september 04 in Unsung to be specific)

When i bought it, i didn't pick white because of randy, i just genuinely wasn't a fan of sunburst LP's back then, my taste has since changed and now i would love a vintage burst plaintop (ala 'Paul Kossoff' spelling?).

The guitar is currently my no.2 and is in need of restringing actually. I have modified it over the years. Every electronic component, even wiring and input jack has been replaced by moi. It currently rocks orange drop capacitors to the sound of a SD 59 in the neck and pearly gates in the bridge.

And yay! for it is good! :mrgreen:

Had an Epi LP Custom a number of years ago and it was a superb guitar (MIK).....Still, I ended up trading to the one in my avatar which is the best Gibson Les Paul I have ever owned to date (my '04 Custom Shop Custom).

Beatiful!

One question, did your gold wore off on your bridge after a while? Mine did (gibson studio) and I was wondering if this happened to other guitars aswell.. It has become grey-ish at the top where I rest my hand
