All I can tell you is that he asked $300 for it and he said he put more than that into it in parts. And I believe him. I played it...and then he kept putting the "$2000+ guitars" in my hands.."try THIS one", and I kept going...."yeah, nice....um, let me play that Gibson again...". It just has such a GREAT sound to it, and I love the feel. He even plugged it into a huge Marshall 350 watt amp and it cooked.

And, look at it THIS way.....I STILL don't have a Fender. So, that's another guitar that I can buy someday! lol

ADDED:

FWIW, this is what he said is on/in there, and perhaps someone can comment. All I know is that is sounds great:

• Epiphone Pickups
  


• Ernie Ball Pots
  


• Gibson Switchs
  


• Ernie Ball Jack
  


• Gibson Deluxe Tuners
  


• Higher end bridge, but I can't remember what he said it was...
