They were going for around $400 used prior to Covid so with the Gibson Burstbuckers, this is a pretty good deal. Also, I don't recall ever seeing a lefty Epi Dot with this finish so I'm assuming this must me an older MIK model. I'd seriously consider it myself, but I already have one with SD Seth Lovers and an AL-3000 with Burstbuckers:

Serial number EE04024164 indicates it was made in the Epiphone Qingdao Factory, China, in February 2004.

The Burstbuckers definitely sweeten the deal, not least of all because upgrading the pups on a semi hollow is such a pain in the butt.

Doh, I never checked the serial number and shouldn't have made the MIK assumption. I've just never seen a lefty Dot with that finish, and it certainly wasn't in production after 2010. In fact, lefty Dots are no longer being made..
