The Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson Custom" line of guitars is an incredible value for the money. This particular Les Paul has a really nice satin burst finish that shows off the highly figured flamed maple veneer. The stock Custombucker pickups give you the same vintage tone as Gibson Custom Shop guitars costing 4-5 times as much. The only way you would know you weren't playing a Gibson Les Paul is that this guitar is around 8lbs.
Overall condition is mint. You might find a very small mark from handling, but there are no chips, dings, deep scratches, or play wear. The frets are perfect and the electronics function as new.
