Anyone see the new Slash Les Pauls from Epiphone? Made in China, same finishes as the made in US version, CTS pots, orange drop caps, Graphtech nut. $899. Hmm. That goldtop looks mighty hawt.

I'm going to have to see if my local GC gets one in...

Change the truss rod cover, paint the back of the headstock and I think you'd have a nice guitar for not much cash.

I think (not sure) that they include a plain black truss rod cover.

As an aside, am I the only one who seems to like Epiphone's headstock better than Gibson's? It seems to have slightly straighter string pull too. And yes, I know that Jacksons don't have anything resembling a straight string pull on their headstocks, but most have a locking nut so it really doesn't matter. Getting the high E in tune before clamping it is a bit tricky.
