Epiphone SG "Les Paul Custom" Korean 2005 reissue of 1963 classic
This is a 2005 reissue of the 1963 classic. Everything on the guitar is original, the hardware and pickups etc. Plays like a dream. Very versatile in terms of sound, going from deep warm tones to bright jangling treble. Sounds monstrous with distortion too. You can pretty much play anything on it. There aren't tons of these around, so they are sought after.
There is some very light cosmetic wear and tear (some nicks on the body, and one knob is slightly cosmetically damaged but not mechanically). The neck and action are impeccable. It really stays in tune very well and is very responsive. It's a real surprise of a guitar. The ivory colour gradually deepens into a honey yellow hue with age.
There's a good video here about the model:
