Maybe a simple engraving of the name "Epiphone" in nice writing, that should be possible with an engraving machine and would be much cheaper.
I was very keen to get one of these but since buying my R8 nothing gets close to it so thought I may be disappointed
Plus the fact I would remove that plate but by the sound of things it would look worse without it due to shoddy drilling
With the plate reversed I don't think it looks too bad.
It plays fantastically well and sounds great - it doesn't feel as nice in the hand as my R8 but it also doesn't feel like a cheap guitar by any means. Having just volume and tone forces me to engage with the controls more often than I sometimes do and you'd be surprised at how many different tones are possible just with those two.
All in all it's an absolute bargain - you're not going to be able to sell your R8 because you've got one of these but for under £600 there's very few reasons not to own one....
Edit: one other thing worth mentioning - there's no markers on the frets past 15 at all - not even dots in the binding which surprised me.
