For that price you'd think they'd put some real Gibson humbuckers in there.
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.

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 :-(
