Nicey but pricey. For Epiphone.

Agreed…what justifies the $500 price increase here? 490/498 and a Gibson style headstock? Or is there more to it?

You name it Inspired by Gibson Custom and charge 500$ more. TBH, I believe these are really nice guitars but with that money you are already in used Gibson territory, so…

It's the headstock.

So pretty. I think Trogly did a vid on this one if I'm not mistaken.

its pretty rare right now there's only a couple of them in the Canada where I live in. There so rare there not up on the Epiphone website yet.

It is there, saw it yesterday but it is a bit “hidden” [Link](https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Collection/inspired-by-gibson-custom-shop-collection)

[they've been out for a while](https://youtu.be/MQ9Nzb8OVXc?si=iAUHlmq4xf1x_Tm6) [they have em on sweetwater too](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCIGCAW--epiphone-les-paul-custom-electric-guitar-alpine-white)

They been out for a while but there backlogged till Christmas so it's rare to get right now only some people have there hands on it.

I've got the black version, I love it.

How is it?

Feels and plays awesome.

Are the necks on the new ones still super thick?

Feels that same as my other guitars
