Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured CBF

I bought this Epiphone Les Paul Modern from Thomann because the competitor didn't have it in stock and uses false shipping dates. They we're cheaper though, but after contacting Thomann, they kindly gave me the same price for this beautiful guitar.

The guitar itself:
Very nice maple cap with 1mm veneer on top of it. Mine was perfectly mirrored. The color blue is slightly more blue than the product image. Keep in mind some monitors have trouble to show blue and green colors accurately. The wood selection for the back of the guitar is very nice, the mahogany back is seamless. You really need to look for it. It's made of 3 pieces.

The electronics are feature packed and of high quality. You get the PAF Humbuckers with coil-split and to top it of, the Peter Green mod (phase inversion). If you want (almost) strat sounds out a Les Paul, It does the job well.

The guitar comes with 10s and plays very light when the action is lowered a little bit. I put 9s on it to try, bends were never easier than now. Locking tuners are very smooth and come with their own waranty.
Don't hesitate and get this guitar.

The guitar itself is absolutely fantastic. Whoever is in the market for a Les Paul should check this one.

The price, to me, would be justified only if the attention to aesthetic details was better: the paint job is not the best, and I received mine with EXTREMELY minor scratches. The scratches literally don't matter, they are absolutely invisible. Still, to fully justify them, the price should be between 400 and 500.

I didn't want to bother to send it back and wait for a new one because the process is complicated and the risk of problems is either the same or bigger.
