Title: '90s Epi Grabber?
Post by: Denis on May 19, 2009, 06:18:08 AM

Saw on Craigslist what was advertised as a 1990's Epiphone Ripper, but it a single pickup so I think it's a Grabber. I didn't know Epi offered those. I've emailed the guy about it so we'll see.

There are some topics about that here. You rarely see them.

The 90ies Epi Rippers were de facto non-sliding pup Grabbers to all intents ad purposes. Called Rippers nonetheless. The second series Ltd Ed Epi Rippers from recent years and the P/J pups sound superior IMHO. That pup of the first series is kind of lame.

Interesting. I wondered what the deal was on the things.
The guy wanted $125 for it and said someone was coming by tonight. If they don't he said he'd let me know. For $125, why not, right?

$125 sounds like a good deal grab it

Structurally, there is nothing wrong with these.
