Yeah. That too.

But if you notice the inlays on the fret board. They're rectangular.

Gibsons are more 'trapezoid' shaped.

I own a 1987 Epiphone Les Paul and the inlays are nearly identical to a Gibson Les Paul.

I used to own one identical to this, but had to give it up to pay the rent years ago...

Is that a Hot Rod Deluxe or Deville you have in the corner?

It's a counterfeit of a LP Custom - they have the rectangular inlays, including one on the first fret. LP Standards have the trapezoid inlays starting on the 3rd fret.

They’d properly be block (square/rect) inlays on a LP Custom. On Deluxes, yes, trapezoids, but there would be no Super-400 type center-peghead inlay on Deluxes. Nor do Deluxes even have a first-fret inlay.

It depends on the model. Les Paul Customs always had rectangular inlays.
