Hi Guys.  
 
  Mighty thoughtful of you to 'member me Elwood, I appreciate it very much.  
 
  As 'luck' would have it I just got a six string Epic and am awaiting his home coming from the mothership after upgrades and 'customizing' for my own 'upside down left handed, right hand stringing' technique.  With good fortune he might even be here for the Rumble.  
 
Anticipation....anticipat-uh-tion...
 
See you at the Rumble?  
 
Best Regards,
 
Kimberly

Interesting....I just noticed the serial number.  
 
  I've got a '96 Epic and it's a five digit serial number in the 10,000 range.  This one appears to be four digits and in the 3,000 range, yet it's also a '96 model.  Of course it might be these tired ole eyes, but it sure looks like a 3k serial number.
 
  What does it all mean?  Beats the heck outta me.  Simply interesting.  
 
Regards,
 
Kimberly

No case.
 
Looks like the model letter may have been stamped over the first digit.

My 96 epic has a serial number in the high 95xx range so this one could be 9601 looking at the ebay pic. I find Dave's pic harder to read.

Graeme, I agree; it's hard to read.  And your idea that the 3 is actually a 9 is a good one.

No, no, no - we all know it was 6 that turned out to be 9!
