Awesome Korean Black Beauty, plays as hard as she looks.
My Japanese wife loves the shape and wants to play it!

I've never seen an Epi with the 3 Humbucker configuration.

C'mon, Neal... only 4 or 5 years ago Epiphone made the Les Paul Black Beauty (a three humbucker version of the Epi LP Custom) and their equivalent to the Gibson Black Beauty. They also made (around the same time) the Epiphone SG Custom which was a three humbucker SG available in a Vintage (creamy) white finish. I have some old Musicians Friend and Sweetwater catalogs -none are older than 2008- and these two guitars were in them regularly. While I haven't seen them in the catalogs for 3 years or so now I'd be happy to send you a catalog with them in it. I"m not sure but I think Epiphone may still be building the Les Paul Black Beauty, but I'm sure that they no longer offer the SG Custom 3-bucker. Have fun everyone-Jim

I have a "July 2010" Musician's Friend Catalog that has both -the Epiphone Black Beauty 3-3humbucker pickups-which your Sweetwater link proved to "exist" and also has the Epiphone G400 Custom which is a 3 humbucker SG. If Neal wants to provide a "physical" address, I would be more than happy to send him that catalog. Not trying to start an argument here-just proving an issue to be true. Thanx-Jim

Why is everyone getting hung up on the specs when the bottom line is that girls love it?

Triple humbuckers ftw, but the SG is more gorgeous. Curvy devil horns - very sexy!

Am I the only one who plays multiple instruments? Let's be inspirational and find our muses everyday!
