Here's my Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue.
Purchased by myself from the Gibson Demo Shop here on Reverb it has 'DEMO' stamped on the reverse of the headstock.
It's in great condition other than the minor mark/scratch indicated on the seconds sheet (pictured). I've tried to capture this in the pictures but it's quite hard to see. It's more of a very light spec in the finish on the back of the neck. The case has a couple of scuffs to the front which I've tried to capture in the pictures. The case is good quality on these IGC Epi's, very solid.
This one weighs in at around 9.9lb (weighed on bathroom scales so this is approx) so has some weight to it, it feels like a chunky beast in the hands. The wood grain on the back of the body is lovely. The dark burst is nice and rich and has a kind of semi matt finish.
I've barely played this as I bought it chasing the Bluesbreakers vibe but I have an SG at home and find I'm more familiar and comfortable playing it. I've therefore decided to list this as I'm thinning down my collection to by a decent acoustic.
Sounds as you'd expect, great raw tones from the Custombuckers. Great pickups which pretty much make this guitar sing when soloing if you get your amp settings dialled in.
This model has the Gibson shaped headstock too which I prefer and was part of the reason I decided to buy it in the first place.
Very light bedroom use. No gigging and I've kept all original packaging/case candy. I'll ship it in the original box.
