You must be thinking of a Gibson Les Paul, I've never seen a standard Epiphone Les Paul go over $600..
also, any proof that it is a custom? It says Standard on the headstock and the pickguard and pickups look 100% standard..
Didn't notice the pic with Standard showing on the guitar, and I got that from the Gibson site (which sells the Epiphone as well): http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Epiphone/Les-Paul-Custom.aspx
