Just got the latest newsletter from Epiphone (I guess I must have signed up for it when I entered a contest or something), and was checking this out:

The Tak Matsumoto Goldtop Doublecut. Pretty dang neat, if I do say so myself. I was curious about the suggested retail price, so I went to the Epi website. Hey, I love gold tops, and I don't have a DC LP, so that would be a nice addition, yeah? Not so much.

Epiphone has announced the release of the "Tak Matsumoto DC Standard Goldtop" exclusively for the Japan Market.
Argh! You can read the article here. I wonder if Syo could ship one of these with one of his Hell guilars...?
