Tecie. Gibson/Epiphone did a limited reissue in the mid '90s. The inside label on mine reads "#25 of 500 limited edition 1994, Handmade by Epiphone, Montana, made in USA". I bought it new in '95 and it has been my primary gig guitar ever since. Everyone who's every played it has said "Wow! this is an Epiphone?". I would gladly pay $2-3000 for another guitar of this quality, and believe I would have to.
