That would be fine if it's repackaged Epiphones but they aren't, those
are Gibson headstocks with made in the USA stamps and those are lacquer
finishes... and in looking at most of the les pauls on that site - they
are one piece mahogany necks and bodies. The raw wood alone costs more
than the finished guitars to the maker.

Well, of course it's a scam if you think you're getting a Made in the
USA Gibson...but if you think you're getting a rebadged Epiphone for
$400 then it could be a bargain. Of course there would be import taxes
and I wouldn't like to return one because of a warped neck.

This has to be a scam, there is no way you are getting a $3,000 made in
the
USA Gibson for a hundredth of the price.
