Because it was a limited run of 1,962 units released back in 2012, finding one completely untouched in its original shipping carton is highly unusual and commands a premium over typical used prices. It contains all the original accessories. This includes the original box, gray 1962 reissue hardshell case, the presentation binder with historical photos, and crucially, the Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

• The Protective Film is Intact: The clear plastic wrap is still fully attached to the butterfly pickguard and the pickups. It has never even been peeled off.
• Original Factory Stickers: The gold "Limited Lifetime Warranty" sticker and the promotional QR code sticker are still firmly affixed to the front of the body.
• Unblemished Hardware: The Tremotone tailpiece and the nickel mini-humbuckers show zero signs of the typical cloudy oxidation or hand-sweat tarnishing that usually happens over 14 years.
• Complete "Case Candy" and Box: You have the exact hard-to-find gray reissue case, the original outer Epiphone shipping box, the owner's manual, the adjustment tools, and crucially, the Certificate of Authenticity binder (Serial #12112304925) matching the guitar.
