I have two, both Chinese and both with the open book headstock, both in white and both are far superior to any Epiphone Custom I've ever played on...AND, they're cheaper....only issue I had was the Pup's, they were a little light for me...now they're Seymours and they wail like they should have done when manufactured...get one, you will NOT be sorry! The guitar shape is as close to any other LP by Tokai, not sure where you get the pointed horn bit from...maybe a bad image on the web?? Both of mine are exactly as they should be...the envy of all of my band mates and friends..I have an LC85 too, its exactly the same shape only comes with Grover tuners and better pup's...no difference at all..same weight, different woods, but I defy anyone to tell them apart...of course, some smart *** on here will have their 'opinion'..but they look identical, and sound the same, and are easily set up to be more in-line with the more expensive MIJ version...at the end of the day, you can buy the most expensive LP copy that money can buy, but if ya can't play and put it through a sh!t amp, it will always sound the same...
