Sunburst is ugly but i think they would be nice in natural, and without the pickguard.

pretty good resemblence, headstocks are simliar not the same, and the bridges are quite different too. and the ibanez pickguard has color.

They both look pretty similar. The pickguards are aweful!!!!! The Ibanez wouldn't be so bad if you got rid of it... the epiphone looks el cheapo
