I've had my eye on a Trad Pro V for a while and these went up. $2,500 was regular in-store price on the Trad Pro V. I also saw at least two of these under $2k during the holiday sale.
Does it really cost them >$2k to write "Gibson" on the headstock instead of "Epiphone"?
Joking aside, the Epiphone Traditional Pro IV LP was posted last month for ~$400 and it seems to be very similar. I'm not going to tell anyone to go buy a $60 Monoprice special instead but come on.

Your comparison is extreme, but I did have a Trad Pro V when they were still $2500 retail and used under 2k, as well as a Satin, and both instruments were fine but not particularly standout quality. I really struggle to recommend these middle price Gibsons as they don't seem to be good value. There are a lot of companies doing single cut LP style guitars now which are made much better for the same money.

Personally, I'd check the used market because they are better deals to be had(with more options).
