Great guitars. I've got a Lyle 5102t, which is the exact same guitar, but assembled in Beaverton Oregon under the Lyle name.

It's definitely made in japan. I have one as well. I have the black pick ups and no "E" on the pickguard which, from what I've been told, means it's the first of the japanese epis. 1971ish.

I have one exactly like this one, and I wanted to know a little more about it. I always thought this was a 75-76 model. Can you tell me more about it if you know? Thanks.

@jackillac92 I have owned one of these from 1987 to present. If you notice any separation of the body from the binding on the cutaways near the neck, be wary. Mine just caved in one day at the binding. They sound great but they're not very well designed. Be very careful with this instrument, don't jostle it around too much.

Got the same model, although the headstock on mine looks a little different and it has the plastic pickups which make it look a little on the cheap side, my luthier advised me not to change them due to the fact that it could lower the value.... not that I'm thinking of selling... Great playing by the way... happy new year....

This is made in japan, assembled in 'Zoo
That right there is a Epiphone EA-250, Made in Japan (Before Japanese guitars became crap) Finished and set up in Kalamazoo.
If you want a vibrato arm you should buy a "Bigsby" one, with some spare spacers (I used rubber) from the hardware store.

hey man,
great playing.
any idea what this is appraised at?
i've had the exact same guitar for a couple years now.
my uncle bought it new in 72 and just held on to it, and finally found it in his attic.
just wondering.
nice playing by the way.

nice.
and your welcome.
i have noticed suddle differences in mine though.
i don't have an E on the pickguard, and don't have silver pickup covers.
so it could possibly be a different year.
but either way, it plays amazing.
