Hello,

I have a Sobe Gibson Les Paul Epiphone guitar that is not exactly like this one but it is the black background with the neon green sobe lizard on it. The lizard is almost like a graffiti on the guitar which I love.This guitar with the lizard on it is very rare and I have gotten it appraised at my local appraiser. This is a brand new guitar that I have never used, because I do not know how to play guitar. I won this from a radio contest and it has a bunch of autographs on it. The only one that I am sure about is Ashlee Simpsons autograph. I was a huge fan of hers about 7 years ago when I won this guitar. It is in perfect condition and is just taking up space in my house. I have the original Sobe Epiphone case that you will also get. If anyone is interested please email me at [email protected]. If you would like to see a picture please just ask and I will be more than happy to send you one.  I will take the best offer so email away! I just need to get rid of it, but I have taken very good care of it because it is a piece of history.

Have a good day!

<p>Is this a Jr. size or a standard size?  I&#39;ve seen these go up at auction to around $350.00-$600.00, a little less for the Jr size, but not much more than that.   Hope that helps.</p><p>- Joseph </p>

'Anonymous' is OBVIOUSLY That for a Reason: He Doesn't KNOW What He's Talking About When He Says; "There, (MISPELLED, Should be 'They're'; Just THAT Gives You a Clue to His Intelligence Level as Well as Being 'Anonymous'.), Not Even Rare." I BOTH Play and Collect and ALWAYS 'Do My Homework' on ANY Guitar BEFORE I Post. See MY Post Above Regarding the Rarity of These Guitars.

OK, I JUST joined specifically because of the Epiphone SOBE Les Paul. I HAVE One. Today, 3/23/10, I called Gibson DIRECTLY and got the following Specs on this Guitar: Epiphone Les Paul SOBE Limited Edition Les Paul (S/N - FC04063995) Manufactured One Year ONLY: 2004; VERY RARE. Only 500 Made. (Due to THIS the Guitar is ASSURED to Increase in Value Over the Years.) Body: Solid Mahogony Set Neck: Solid Mahogony Fretboard: Indian Rosewood Tuners: Grovers Pickups: Alnico Zebra Design Neck, Classic 57 with 8.5k DC Resistance Bridge, Hot Humbucker with 14.0 DC Resistance Comes with 'SOBE' 'Epiphone' Monogrammed Padded Gig Bag and Strap. The Guitar is 100% MINT as is the Gig Bag and Strap; NEVER Been Used. Still Has ALL the Plastic on the Pickups and Cavity Covers. I am Looking to Either Sell the Above for $350.00 or Trade for an Equivalent Value and Shape, (MINT), Electric Guitar. People Either LOVE or HATE the 'Van Halen' Paint Job; BUT I Can Tell You THIS: It PLAYS and Sounds UNBELIEVABLY for an Epi in This Price Range. The Neck is VERY Similar to a Gibson Les Paul Classic and the Pickups SCREAM as Well and Are VERY Quiet in When You Dial it to a 'Normal' Sound. PLEASE Feel Free to email Me DIRECTLY at [email protected] or call my Cell, 1-781-472-0354 Regarding ANY Inquiries About This Guitar. Personally, I LOVE It, But I NEED to Raise Some FAST Cash Either by Selling HER or an Equivalent Trade. THANKS, Allan

 you are a poor bastard if you think that this is kinda eddy. part 1 no EPIPHONE *lol* can be as good as eddies.. and part 2 there is no floyd rose.. so i don't think it is worth to cover eddie with such a "guitar".. ...
