I found a brand new Epiphone LP Standard pro on Rakuten that costs less than all other guitar stores. Is it legit?

On Rakuten it costs 480$ while in most guitar stores it costs 600$. It also comes with a soft bag, strap, and picks. Is it legit or a scam?

I don't know much about Rakuten Except that they are somehow affiliated with Ishibashi, who, IIRC, is or was the distributor for Epiphone Japan at some point. Ishibashi even had it's own special runs of Epiphone for the Japanese market. I'd say it's legit, but I don't know for sure these days.

If you are in Japan its a good price, LP Standards tend to be a bit heavy shipping from Japan to the US could be pricey. Also you said it is new, Is Rakuten an authorized Epiphone store selling it with a new warranty? Talk to them, ask lots of questions...
