Epiphone Japan

Murray · Guest

Okay I am looking for something that seems like it can't be found.
I know it is made though. A few weeks back I was in Tokyo Japan and I went into a few guitar shops. At one shop they had an Epiphone Les Paul Jr. that really was spmething eles. It was not one of those *Poop* Juniors that Epiphone made in Korea a while back. It was solid wood and it had a set neck!!!!! Even more interesting it had a gibson style headstock. At first I thought it was a gibson until I saw the price tag. I thought why so cheap?I picked it up and could see it was in fact an Epiphone. ( didn't realize at first due to the Gibson style headstock) It was made in Japan. Funny thing is even the Epiphone Japan website has no mention of it. Maybe it is no longer made. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know.

I dunno Murry, I want a MIJ Epi too, but it looks like you gotta go to Japan to get one. I wonder what's the Deal?

Maybe it was a Limited Edition??

Or perhaps just not many were made.

I don't know what you are talking about, but aren't the Elite series Epiphones made in Japan.
