[revans513]

How much did you purchase this item for? $450.00


Where did you purchase this item? Moeller Music (good guys)


Is this item new or used? New


Features: Les Paul double cutaway body. Quilt top maple, with solid mahogany body. Mine is transperant Amber. Looks great!!
Gold hardware. I think it has Grover Tuners.


Construction: Set neck, falwless finish.


Sound: Warm toned and crystal clear. Two humbuckers.


Ease of Use: This guitar was set up perfectly. Almost plays itself.


Reliability: Tradition offers a lifetime warrenty on all their guitars. So far so good.


Overall: Overall, I was initially attracted to it by its looks. I went in to the dealer for strings and walked out with it. The sound and feel are that of a much more expensive axe. I haven't picked my Les Paul up since I brought it home Check these guys out.

Experience Level: I've been playing since the 60's. I own 2 strats, a '66 Epi wilshire. '82 Les Paul standard and now this Tradition.

You have an Epi wilshire?!? I've got a 1960s Epiphone Crestwood (or is it Olympic?) I've never had it sucessfully identified!

As I recall there wasn't much difference. Have a pic of it? Those were the days when Epi made good guitars.

Sorry to take so long getting back to you.


Here is a pic of my Epiphone.



Now, the fact that it has a only one pickup makes me think that it is an Olympic, but I thought that the Olympics only had single coil pickups. The Crestwoods had humbuckers, though they usually sport two of them! Also, you will note that the input jack and pots are configured differently form the standard Coronet layout.
You'll see that my scratchplate looks like the one from the Olympic in spite of the fact that it only has one pickup.

I've always been a little confused on this one...
