It's his guitar and he can modify it as he chooses, but to sell it there is the question

At least the guy's honest about the guitar. I don't think Gibson would be happy about it, but I have seen plenty of Epi's get this kind of make-over. I did it with my Thunderbird TR cover and pickguard.

It's an amazing hybred with a two hole trust rod cover. I mean the guy Garrentees it. You will not be disappoint!

Misleading ad title. Hopefully someone forking out that kind of dough is smart enough to read the description.

For that kind of money there are all kinds of authentic Gibsons to be had brand new including the Midtown Custom.

I can also say with confidance there will be no disapoint in the way this guitar plays or looks as both are pristine!

I don't have so much of an issue with what he is selling, as I do what he perceives it to be worth.

With mods, I would think it would be worth slightly LESS that an unaltered Epi, or at least worth no more than.
