They actually just started a new run of them, that's what you're seeing now. It's timely and all since Gibson stopped making those for now, and last I checked they had only been doing the Faded versions for a good number of years.
Thanks a bunch for the M123 code! I love me some nicer Epiphones.
I have an Epiphone Les Paul ES (the hollowbody one) Custom Shop. I've been meaning to take pictures of this thing because it's pretty sweet, I want to upgrade the electronics and put new pickups in it but just haven't gotten there on my giant list of shit to do.
And I have an Epiphone Les Paul Jr '57 Reissue Custom Shop, the ones with the setnecks not the bolt-on humbucker crap they put out everywhere for a while. I got it for $200 w/shipping when they came out and spent another $100 for a Lollar P-90, and changed the tailpiece. That thing sounds beautiful.
I will be like everyone else in the thread and state I didn't know they were making this guitar. Seriously cool. I really want to get a vintage P90 Gibson as they are still somewhat affordable compared to other Gibsons, and I think they are better anyway.
