Epiphone EA-250

Made in Japan1970's to 80's ???? (Epiphone was still in Michigan).
Bigsby style bridge, Rockabilly on a budget ! LOL !!!
It is a solid Guitar with a very sweet sound !!!
The action while good is a tad high for me (Strat & Tele player).
The vintage frets are way smaller than I'm used to.
Overall it sounds very cool and stays in tune pretty well for a Bigsby type !
Fun Guitar for sure ! The Made in Japan 70's stuff just keeps rising in value too !!!
The case is just a cheap fake ostrich skin (non original) case to ship it in.
Yes I'll even throw in that Groovy 70's Strap too !!!!

Looks interesting. Not sure what the quality was for MIJ's, but I bet it is better than many of the recent Epi's.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Nah, not my thing.

 

[Deep Eddy]

No thanks. I'd rather just get a Riviera with mini-humbuckers if I'm going to get a vintage Epiphone hollowbody.

Guitar is slightly interesting, though there are many in that category I would look at first. Why is it surrounded by creepy stuffed animals and dolls? someone rescue it!

I can dig it. Looks sadly out of place in Mawmaw's dolly parlour.

It looks nice, but is probably nothing special. Another example of pictures that son't present the guitar in a good light.

[Peeker]

lookin' again at the last pic, it looks like the action might be crazy-high...

 

[wok]

erm...no

 

[LittleSnakes]

Not bad. Doesn't inspire me much but not bad. . . .

 

[CBHScott]

Sure - why not? Those come along every once in awhile, and pretty cheap, too.

 

[Mark Wein]

nah

I dunno, man. That looks more like a hang-on-the-wall-at-Chili's guitar than an actual playing guitar.

No. The 70s MIJ stuff makes a new Aglle look like a masterpiece of fine craftsmanship.

I've actually owned several of these, and they were great players. Had to shim the necks, etc., but they were a blast to play.
