Epiphone Jared James Nichols BluesPower

First one I've ordered had a very rough bodywork around the place where neck pickup is usually located. Had to return it, as it's unacceptable level of quality for a 1000 EUR guitar.
Second one did not have this problem, but binding had uneven paintjob as if it was discolored - partly white, partly ivory. Also back of the neck has few spots with sloppy paintjob.
The guitar itself is fine - it's a guitar, duh.
But considering the amount of returns, I would not suggest buying this. Epiphone just does not care about quality at all. Yes, this guitar definitely has its mojo, but I would much rather spend 1000 EUR on a PRS or LTD.
