i was browsing gumtree the other day and spotted someone wanting to swap an epi lp custom with 2 S/D invader pups for a fender , so after checking out the pics and talking to the guy , i went a wee run to the kingdom of fife to trade the tele i picked up a wee while , it was indeed a proper epi custom and not a fake , so the deal was done and i'm now the proud owner of a black epi lp custom , i gave it a wee bit of tlc tonight and put in a new bridge and cts pots and pio caps , i also wired it up vintage style with metal braided wire and 50's wiring so i can tame these pups a wee bit , it's sounding nice now and i'll get some pics up soon , cheers
Alan

That's a great trade Alan,I've become a devoted Epi fan almost as much as a Fender fan.....almost.Epiphone makes deadly Les Pauls that certainly give Gibson a run for their money.Congrats.
