    Epi triple P90 funkiness!

    Never saw one of these before.
    Crack at the nut, but at the right price, it could be a neat fixer-upper.

    Pretty cool. Resembles that Yamaha Troy _____ model - the guy from QotSA.

    I'd hold out for one of those blonde ES-5s the had out a while back, but that's just me.

    I'm not sure what it would cost to fix.
    But My old Alvarex had the head snapped off and dangling by the inlaid veneer. Had it reglued and it's been fine for probablt 17-18 years.
    It's totally fixable.

    Strangely, if it was just 2 P90's, I'd be way more GASsy.

    It's just such a freak, it caught my eye, bigtime.

    Apparently it works 'as is'. According to the ad its been tuned and played. What if you injected glue into the crack and clamped it? IMHO the price is more than I would pay considering the damage. Plus I would have to factor in the cost of upgrade PUPS , I would assume unless proven otherwise those are ceramic magnet pickups - that would not be OK with me, seeing as P90s are a 'vintage' style pickup.

    if you play loud, they feedback- severe and uncontrolably. sold mine as it was unusable for our boys night jams.
    If I recall it was an '05. very well made / quality / etc
    do I look like I know what I'm doing?

    Just an aside, I bought a Epi LP custom from them to fix, very good deals and good people..


    I saw that and thought about buying it too.

    I'd be leery of buying something with a cracked neck.
    Since my favorite local-ish shop with the ace guitar and amp fixers closed, I have a guitar tech drought.
