I've actually had this for a couple weeks now. I traded some stuff I wasn't using for it at GC. It was $924 used. It came with Gibson locking tuners and hardshell case. I have an old Epiphone LP Standard that I love, but I just really wanted a Gibson for the longest time. Is it perfect? no. Are there Epiphones that are better than it for less money? yes. I had a new Epiphone Riveria Royale that looked like a white falcon. I loved the way it looked, but for $550 the overall quality and feel were pretty bad. I had to upgrade so many things on it that I felt like I was better off just getting something like this. So I did.
I love the way it looks and feels, and it sounds REALLY good. So I'm happy It didn't have a pickguard or holes for one, which is just the way I like it. The only think I might do is get cream pickup rings and switch ring for it. MAYBE change the nut to a Tusq XL like most of my guitars now.

Is it just the photos or is it that target bursted in real life? I've never seen an Epiphone or Gibson like that.

No. That's from the camera flash, and because it's a really old camera.

Nice!! I definitely dig these guitars more sans pick guard. Looks to be a real work horse.
