Hi guys. selling my Epiphone Les paul Ultra. I decided to sell after ordering a set of GFS Classic II alnico 2 humbuckers and they are on the way, gold covers. The pics you see have the GFS mean 90's in the guitar, so the new ones will look the same. The pups should be here in a couple days so i thought I would get some pics up early. email me at guitar0633@yahoo.com if interested, or call Jeff at 865-405-2760 I am asking $400 dollars even plus shipping and we can figure that out once I know where it's going to. Hmm, I can't figure out how to post a pic. I hit image and it puts a couple img words on the end of my post, but i try to paste an image in between them and pasie command is greyed out. Anyway, email me and I'll send some pics. this is a perfect guitar other than one small nick on the back that can't be see when playing.

To post the picture, paste the picture into the body first, then double clik the line to select the entire line, then hit the image button. The img in brackets will appear at the bginning and end of the line.

Ok, I'll try
Can't get it. I just copied the pic from my desktop, came back to my reply, put my cursor on the second line and right clicked, the paste was still greyed out. What gives? I'll try again. It is a jpg file. Again, nothing. Still greyed out when I right click. The copy command is working when I right click on the pic on the desktop.

Still no takers? How about I drop the price to $350? 350 for a nice Les Paul Ultra and it will have he GFS classic II's with it. They are on the way and I will just leave them in the box when they arrive, won't open them. I was simply going to connect them to the existing wires, so everything is still hooked up as the Ultra came wired. This way whoever buys it can just solder in the new pups if they want, and the pups will be new and in the package, or they can hook them up to the existing wires if they want. Folks, I just paid 88 bucks for the GFS classic II's, so that's like getting the Ultra for like $270.00. Shipping will be actual cost to you, no mark up or anything. That's a steal and a half. Call Jeff at 865-405-2760 or just email me at guitar0633@yahoo.com. My Ebay rating is over 500 positives and zero negatives. user: guitar0633. Again, $350 plus actual shipping, and a new set of GFS classic II's still in the box I won't even open them when they get here and they cost 88 bucks, you could probably send them back to Jay at GFS and get the money back for them if you already have a set of Humbuckers to put in it. There is one small nick on the back just above the strap pin, can't see it from the front and it's very small. Otherwise, in new shape, no fret wear, nothing.

Thanks.

Uhhh, you might think about taking some better pics. Sorry, but the ones you posted are really poor, and I'm sure they don't do that fine LP of yours any justice. All of the pics are out of focus. And you should include a pic that shows the whole guitar. And what's up with that last pic?

Yeah, well the pics were taken with my phone as I don't have a dedicated camera. The last pic is showing the nick in the back, look above the strap pin about two inches or so, see the small nick? Maybe tomorrow I will take it outside and get some pics in the daylight. I'm going to put it on my local Craig's list too. Craigslist would be cool cause then I wouldn't have to go through the shipping and such. The pups in the pic are mean 90's from GFS, I sent those back

It might also help if you mentioned what area you live in (Eastern Tennesee?). Unless you live in Guam, there's probably a member within driving distance.

BTW, $350 for an Ultra is a pretty good deal if it's in good shape. Hard to tell with those photos though...

Hi, yeah that might be a smart idea. I live in Harriman TN. It's about 30 miles or so west of Knoxville on Interstae 40.

Yeah, I'll get some better pics in the morning. The nick on the back is the only mark on it. Daylight should help my phone cam out. It's my new LG Lotus and it's a 2 mp cam in it, but after I got it I find out there is no focus control, or macro mode.

Ok, Got a few more pics outside the best I could.





Still some glare from the sun, but this Ultra is in great shape other than the one nick on the back. As you see, I left the wires hooked up as they came new and just planned on hooking the new GFS Classic II's that come with it straight to the original wires, but as i said, I won't even open the new pups from GFS when they get here and will just put them in the box with the guitar. With the 88 dollar pickups sealed in the shipping box, the Ultra itself will only be about $270 plus shipping. Come to think of it, I would take 300 plus shipping if you don't want the GFS new pickups if you have your own, and I could just get a refund from jay at GFS when the Classics get here.

Thanks

Now that's a little better! Now we can see that great looking guitar in all it's glory.
If I didn't already have an LP, and wasn't short on money, I would be jumping all over that.
Great deal!

Yeah, the pics turned out better outside even with my phone cam. Yeah, it's a great deal for sure. I am selling because I want to help my son out. He's is 18 and in college, lost his job and has car payments. I figure I can sell the Ultra and pay a couple payments for him. I don't want to see him get his credit messed up at 18. I plan on maybe buying something a little cheaper like maybe an Agile al-2000 or something.

Wow guys, $275 for the Ultra without the pickups, you put your own in. Can't go any cheaper than that, it's an insane price for a decent condition Ultra. Shipping will be actual cost. I will put it on Ebay soon and I know it will sell for at least $300, so grab it soon if you want it.

Sounds good, give me a ring at 865-405-2760. We'll figure out what it will cost to get it to you. I'll need to buy a box for it, as long as you cover the shipping, I insure it and make sure it's packed well. Thanks. Jeff
