Looks can be deceiving. I like Epis, and one of the best guits I've ever owned was an Epi SG, but if you really want a Gibby, an Epiphone just won't do. Plus, the pickups are usually not nearly up to snuff on an Epi, even compared to the 490s on that LPS he posted. The guy's got seventeen large in the bank, he should buy what he really wants.
I think he wants a 61 SG reissue and a Mesa Subway Rocket ... and if he doesn't want those he can send them to me, I'll work with him.

This might shock you but I've just never liked the SG shape from the first moment I saw them.
Most of my favourite guitarists played with the classic Gibson shape. Slash and buckethead for example both have signature les Paul's.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
