$899-360= $539. A standard plus is $549 at MF. So basically they are giving you all the additions for $10 bucks cheaper than it would be if you did it on your own and throwing in pickup installation, a Long neck tennon and Fat neck for free.

DING! DING! DING! That's the way I looked at it. And if you ever decide to resell it you don't have try and convince someone it's worth more because you did an aftermarket pickup swap.

Yup, and an actual maple cap under the veneer (allegedly). But totally agreed. The guitar is what it is per Epiphone, not some weird quirky custom job from a player. I don't have a huge problem with the selling price, but if one can take advantage of the 20% off sale online, thats a killer guitar for the money!

TBH I really wanted that when it first came out. TBH, I still want it!
