Hello! This is my first time posting on this forum. I'll make it quick and get right to it:
I recently bought an Epiphone G400 PRO that was advertised to have Wilkinson Vintage tuners. As you can see from the pictures, the tuners say Wilkinson Deluxe on the back. Now, when I received my guitar, I noticed that the back of my tuners said "Epiphone" Deluxe (image attached).
I contacted Gibson support (and what a pain that was), and I was told that sometimes legitimate brands (such as Wilkinson) will "re-brand" their products when making them for specific instruments.
Is this something I should be concerned about? Everything else on the guitar is near-perfect. Aside from some high frets, the guitar plays really, really well and sounds amazing.
Thanks! :)
EDIT: Pictures of the new ax were requested, so here they are :).
Epiphone Deluxe tuners instead of Wilkinson Deluxe?

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I love how active this community is . I'm in mobile and at work right now, but I'll definitely have some pictures up when I get back home later today. She's a beauty :).
Edit: Alright, pictures were added to the OP. Those are probably the best pictures I've taken of the guitar so far. It's a very promising instrument. It provides a wide range of tones thanks to the coil-splitting, and helps achieve tones for many different styles of music. In
