This is an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Les Paul Custom. The Gibson headstock (open book) is really nice. The mother-of-pearl inlays are also luxurious. The sound is thick and powerful, just like the authentic Gibson Les Paul Custom sound. The black body is prone to scratches, but it's a near-mint condition with only slight imperfections visible depending on the light. Please comment if you are interested. Shipping and handling fees will apply, so further price reductions are difficult. I can ship almost every day.
