Actually, there is a difference in sound between Epi Stds and Customs. The Custom is all mahogany, with no maple cap. It won't be as bright. Aside from that though, it's just bling. I'd save the extra $100 and buy a Gibson LP faded, but if you're looking used, there will be a bigger price difference.
