Anybody ever heard of a late 70's Epiphone Genesis solid electric? Mine is the block inlay Deluxe from 1979....I believe. I have a serial # 0690047 which Wikipedia indicates could be Japanese made due to no alphabet prefix....just straight numbers. A heavy 10 pounder that sounds better than my L Paul....sometimes. Open black pu's...perhaps DeMarzio, with coil spit. Mine is 3 tone sunburst, with gold parts. Came with soft case gold lining, that is unsafe. I got a regular Epiphone L Paul case that accomodates the long (Casino style) head. Cost me $463.00 new in Jan. 1980....what would that come to in today's dollars?

Thanks for your input.>>DANN

I see them going for around $400

Every review I read indicates peole love the sound from this Guitar. I also see people have payed very little for this guitar second hand. Dont know why. This guitar might be closet classic someday. >> DANN

I know what you mean... Price doesn't mean a thing to me. If it sounds good it's good no matter what the name or price.
