Worn looks like ####. Buy a standered studio, refin it to nitro, and make it worn the normal way. PLAY THE #### OUTTA IT!

Agreed, what's the point in buying a battered guitar? Battered guitars are only cool because they kinda tell a story, if it's only battered because some guy with some sandpaper atacked it in a factory it's really kinda soul-less and pointless.

It is called like "worn" but it doesnt look worn :/ I think its just because of the surface, its not exaclty like some big fat guy took a bite out of the body or anything...Looks like its called worn because of the grainyness

ProfessorKaos

Yeah I think worn is when they just put a satin finish on it.

As to why, I cannot say...

paul_

epiphones regular finishes suck anyhow, so the worn satin option is actually a godsend. i think it's funny that it's cheaper. it seems classier to me, to feel the woodgrain and have a basic stain colour... vs. the guitar looking like it's been dipped in molten plastic.

hahahahaha so true!

JamesDaley

I really like the look of it and considering its an epip ive assumed it to be good. Ive tried out an epip explorer and I like that - so I thought it might be the same sorta principle
