I don't mind the finishes, but in these days of all this historic reissue nonsense, you'd think that they'd go the extra mile and get the body geometry and the nuances correct.  On the left a 1964 TBII on the right, the Epiphone.  Headstock wrong, knobs wrong, sidejack, wrong, body similar, close but no cigar. 

 

Still a no from me.

I doubt you're going to be happy with anything other than an actual '64 T-bird.  They'll get everything physically perfect and it'll be "nope, it doesn't smell like someone smoked several thousand Senior Service next to it, and my wallet is telling me that I haven't spent a five figure on a bass - something still doesn't feel right..." ;)

More than happy with my TBII from '64 in Inverness Green.
