RARE 1996 EPIPHONE PRO II SUPER STRAT CUSTOM GUITAR IN EXC. COND.

Description: KOREAN MADE 1996 EPIPHONE CUSTOM PRO SERIES II SUPERSTRAT IN BLACK WITH JUST ENOUGH MICRO SILVER METAL FLAKE TO MAKE IT SPARKLE WITH ALL BLACK HARDWARE, INCLUDING THE CUSTOM DESIGNED STIENBERGER TREMOLO SYSTEM WITH AN AJUSTABLE TENSION CONTROL KNOB -- ADJUSTABLE EVEN TO FULL LOCK DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE TREMOLO. THE GUITAR IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION (THERE ARE THREE SMALL SCRATCHES. A VERY SHALLOW 3" SCRATCH, A 1/18TH" DIAMETER, (ALSO VERY SHALLOW), DIMPLE ON THE BACK OF THE LOWER BOUT OF THE GUITAR AND A 1" HIGH HEART SHAPED SCRATCH, NEITHER OF THESE GO THROUGH THE FINISH AND ARE VERY HARD TO SEE, ONLY SHOWING UP AS YOU TURN THE GUITAR IN THE LIGHT. (SEE PHOTO--VERY HARD TO SEE AND PHOTOGRAPH). THE LAST SCRATCH IS THE MOST PROMINENT ONE AND IS ON THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE GUITAR NEAR THE STRAP PIN. THIS ONE IS IN THE SHAPE OF A SMALL HEART WITH A LONGER AND SHARPER BOTTOM (THESE PARTS ARE ALSO VERY SHALLOW AND NOT THROUGH THE PAINT). THE TOP OF THE HEART (THE ROUNDED LOBES OF THE TOP OF THE HEART, ARE PROBABLY 2-3 LAYERS INTO THE PAINT, BUT ALSO NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE TOP OF THIS "HEART" IS 1/2" WIDE AND 1/4" HIGH WITH THE ENTIRE HEART BEING 1" HIGH (COMPARE WITH THE SIZE OF THE STRAP PIN). THESE SMALL DEFECTS DO NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE OVERALL IMPRESSION OF THE GUITAR AND ARE NOT WHERE THEY CAN BE EASILY SEEN. THESE GUITARS WERE ONLY MADE FOR A FEW YEARS IN THE MID TO LATE 1990'S AND IN LOW NUMBERS, SO ARE RARE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION--THIS IS A SHAME, AS THEY ARE STUNNING AND VERY VERSATILE. THE GUITAR HAS AN AGGRESSIVELY CONTOURED ALDER BODY THAT IS ALSO EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE NECK/BODY JOINT HAS BEEN REDUCED BY ABOUT A QUARTER OF AN INCH AND THIS ALONG WITH THE CONTOUR OF THE LOWER BOUT, MAKE ACCESS TO THE HIGHEST FRETS VERY EASY. FAMOUS GUITAR AND PICKUP DESIGNER BILL LAWERENCE WAS VERY INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF THE PRO II AND ALSO CONTRIBUTED HIS SIGNITURE OBL (ORIGINAL BILL LAWRENCE) PICKUPS, THAT ARE MOUNTED ON A SLANT TO ENHACE TONE AND RESPONSE ACROSS THE STRINGS AND ALSO FEATURE A COIL SPLIT OPTION. THESE GUITARS HAVE A REPUTATION AS SHREDDING MACHINES BECAUSE OF THEIR WIDE THIN, NECKS, BUT THEY ARE MUCH MORE AND WERE MADE TO VERY HIGH LEVELS OF FIT AND FINISH. VERY GOOD LOOKING AND IMPRESSIVE GUITAR. COMES WITH ORIGINAL CUSTOM FIT HARD CASE. UNFORTUNATELY, MISSING WAMMY BAR. PLEASE CARFULLY EXAMINE PHOTOS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
