I imagine these will sell out quickly...

I look forward to Trogly's review video.

Sassafras

They're practically giving them away.

StefB

They'd better come with a fancy adjustment Tool at that price.

HOW MUCH?!

That’s actually a lot better priced than I feared! Still well beyond what I’d be prepared (or able!) to pay for one though, I’d get an original for that price, plus a holiday!

I thought they'd be £8k....although still at the prices they are it is a nope from me. 

If you are a collector and can afford to invest, this is probably a very very good investment, as long as they are actually made well!

Aye, these will sell out pretty quickly and be ‘worth’ far more in a couple of years. 

Here’s to hoping for an Epiphone edition next year/decade!

I think the Epi one is on way.

 Im surprised any of these made it to shops to be honest. Thought theyd be sold out before that

As much as I’ve wanted one since they were announced that’s more than I’m willing to pay.

Gibson Custom website is showing the aged and signed version rather than VOS as $9999. That's more like what we're used to for Gibson prices

@lustycourtier - I genuinely hope so, that one I'll definitely be ordering if it does materialise!

Haha, I can't wait for the fans to start explaining that the key to his tone is the one nickel ferrule on the tailpiece!

They should be made with real silver at that price...

You can buy an original for less, and that would be a much better investment.

These are the wrong shape too - the originals are from the period when Gibson used a slightly sharper cutaway horn tip.

barnstorm

$10k and they don't even include his special tone screw in the headstock. Cheapskates.

Jonathangus

You'd think that for over five grand they'd remember to put both the pickup covers on.

TTBZ

Still hoping for an Epiphone silverburst! And ideally a bit less green than this one.

guitargeek62

^ That’s part of the appeal! I like the aged/yellowed look even more than the new ones

clarkefan

Why would anybody buy that when an actual original would be less?

Those late 70s/ early 80s Customs are proper boat anchors that should come with a health warning, wonder if they've copied that as well?  No mention of weight bizarrely.

PolarityMan

Too rich for me. The VH4 is the tone secret anyways.
