1990s Epiphone S310R Electric Guitar

So... Gibson makes Strats! ...albeit in Epiphone branding, and in Korea? I love our weird, tangled world. This guy could be any brand of better-quality, inexpensive import Strat from the early '90s save that it has a matched headstock color, angled "Explorer-style" headstock, truss cover above the nut, and a blazingly-fast, shredder-style neck profile (very slim, flattened D-shape).

So... what's not to love? The part of me that rebels wants this guitar dearly because I think it's so funny and and quirky. It also sounds like... a Strat! ...so it's practical as well.

After adjustments it plays spot-on and is ready to go. We even set the whammy for mildly-floating peformance in case you're a fan of up-bends, though it does lack a bar to go with it.

Repairs included: a fret level/dress, cleaning, restring, adjustments and setup.

Condition notes: it's actually pretty clean overall but the pickguard does show pickwear on it, the plastic hardware has aged to a cream color, and there are a few small nicks and dings out of the finish on the top and edges. As far as I can tell, it's all-original.


It comes with: sorry, no case.
