Dude you are forgetting many things. First. There is no standard 59 profile neck for necks that are hand finished. Secondly the pickups are Usa BBers? The ones you find in regular gibsons. Third you forgot technical details. Is it a real maple top? Forget the veneer it is there for the eye. A paul purist ‘ll ask for a 3/4 inch maple top. And a 17 degreed tilted headstock, which this guitar is supposed to have. How many pieces is the body? Instead you are giving us a review that is entirely personal and actually does not interest me much to be honest.

I appreciate your comments and information. I was excited when I pre-ordered my Epiphone 1959 Faded Ice Tea. After waiting four months it finally arrived damaged. The neck pick up broken off and loose. I sent it back for an exchange. (Musicians Friend very nice about the exchange) I received the exchange today, again excited and it arrived damaged again! A small hole nicked on the side of the body. Will send back tomorrow. Not sure if I want another replacement, especially after reading your story. Thanks.
