This Epi has Gibson Burstbucker humbuckers, Switchcraft electronics, and comes with a nice hard case. I have the cherry burst version of this model.

It is a "Musician Friends" member pricing (free to join), you have to add it to the cart and also be logged in to get the member pricing. Also MF will give you a $57.52 credit on future purchases (time limits applies).

They do, and they also put "real" Gibson electronics, but you may get olive and birch instead of mahogany and maple, according to a lawsuit between a Chinese influencer and Epiphone/Gibson.

They are real Gibson humbuckers. Reading is fundamental.

What is HSC - Hard Shell Case? That's included in the price, unless you meant something else.

At this price, it's a steal. The whole costs less than the sum of its parts. Burstbucker set = $300, Hard shell case is a good one probably around $150. The electronics & wiring an additional $70-80. Tuners and stopbar tailpiece, probably another $150. Neck & body probably $300 - $400 at least. That right there gets you close to $1000-$1100.
So you're basically getting all of that for around $750, factoring in 10% tax plus the 8% rewards back.(Sale price of $720 + Tax of $72 = $792. Minus $57 in rewards gets you $735 out the door, all things considered). Add an extra $10 in CA/NY taxes if you happen to live there :-(

Have this guitar. With the exception of the tuners, which feel really cheap, it's a nice guitar. And this is a great price for it.

It's also available in Lemon Burst [musiciansfriend.com] for $30 more

No, still comes with a hard shell case. States it in the description.

Is the lemon burst [musiciansfriend.com] (also on sale) way different than this?

It's an okay deal as the GC/MF limited lemon burst model is on sale for $749.99 like forever, which looks closer to the appetite burst if you are up for a Slash mod. This one is way off from the November burst for mod purposes.
