It really looks like Epiphone is stepping up their game.
More than a couple from NAMM looks very interesting.
Bet, at the end of this year I'll probably have more than one new Jr., And an SG of some stripe. That's more than I see my Gibby or Fenders purchases.

Definitely grabbed my interest more than the "other guys"
I grabbed one late last year and when I received it, I was just STUNNED..
The entire guitar was just flawless...From the frets all the way down to the set-up of the rig...
The guitar is the Plus Top Pro....I only have one genuine Gibby LP and the Epi will hold its own against the LP....@least to my ears, I can hardly tell a difference....I honestly can say its one fine guitar and I will never let it go..

CNC machines in China work JUST as good as the ones in Nashville---period -- CNC machines are nondenominational lol
IF "IF" its a problem -- swap the elctronics and pups for Gibson ones and ...........BOOM... you HAVE a GIBSON
My LEs Paul Recording and my Epi Les Paul Custom hang side by side 2k guitar -- next to a 350.00 used epi--- (at best) and ........the "quality" is totally comparable 38 (yes) years seperate them
1 hand made -USA
1 CNC made -China
its NOT (in truth) worth the $ difference-- and HONESTLY -- the Epi has that "Lester" sound ---- the Les Paul Recording sounds well it has a sound all its own---almost more STRAT ish !
So from that angle -- the LPR -- IS -- unique---
but unless you WANT that unique Gibson/NORLIN era "quirk" then --- -get an EPI lol

I like it. It’s a bit brightly colored for my tastes...but it does look good...and he makes it sound good too.

Tomato soup Burst lol.
Nicer than calling it a Bozo Burst.
But that stays true to 1960 vibe.

The original is that bright. It was the burst found under the bed...almost never saw the light of day until
Norm found it and bought it. Then Joe bought it from Norm's...
