Looks like someone took a torch to it. I wonder what it smells like.

But what are the specs? How’s the “playability”?

In this particular case I would say it’s not burned enough. Maybe another hour or so of exposure to the flame is what this bad boy needs.
I don't see that this instrument has any redeeming factors

RIP Epiphone

How my guitar feels when I play "Smoke on the Water" followed by "Light my Fire."

Burnt finishes are a real thing. Look on youtube.

But only (I think) on solidbody electrics. They come out as a sort of tortoiseshell look. Or using a Japanese technique, I forget the name, that leaves a black finish. They both can come out pretty good, actually.

Unlike the one in the OP.
