Location: Central Florida | If this isn't a scam, then somebody just got an unbelievable deal on one of those extremely limited US made McCartney Epiphone Texans. Check out the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7396932510&rd=1&...
What's curious is the item location says Alabama, but the currency is indicated in British pounds. If this is legit, what a steal! :eek: |

Location: Scotland | At last years NAMM a bunch of visited the Gibson booth and tried out a US-made McCartney Texan reissue right alongside the Jap version which was about 1/5th of the price. The Jap version sounded significantly better than the US. You remember that, Mr Moody? |

Location: SoCal | I do recall. And I agree with your comments. But I also remember that you were much more impressed with the Epi than I was. Personal preference. But the Japanese version was better than the US one. |

Location: Scotland | I freaked out over the Chinese-made Epi slothead 12 fretter that was based on the old Gibson Roy Smeck model. For me that guitar killed everything else at the show that year, regardless of price. |

The auction was apparently a scam of some kind after all. The item has already been deleted from eBay's database (see link above). |

OT: Macca Epi Texan - If this is for real, what a deal!
