Overpriced? At the time I bought it, it was $749. It was a "REAL" Gibson LP. I didn't have to change pickups because it came with burstbuckers, and I didn't have to spend extra money for a hard case, because it came with it. Now my VM is going $999. Probably because it has become quite popular.

Hey, all. DCmey can stick with his (overpriced) Gibson if he likes. I've been playing for 26 years and I just sold a Dean LP copy and bought my own genuine Les Paul (Epiphone) which I love. Like the guy in the video says, it all depends on what you as a player like. I happened to find a really good Epi, so I took the plunge.

It is common knowledge that Epiphone which is owned by Gibson makes 20 or so copies of Gibson guitars. Wilkipedia mentioned it on the website about Epiphone. If people want another unbiased source to call Epiphone LP's copies I will find one.

DCmey: You have cited Wikipedia before on this, so for the record, Wiki is not actually a recognized authority on anything, because it is produced by anybody who wishes to contribute. In fact, many schools do not allow Wiki to be used for research on papers.Peace.

Did Gibson change the inlays? They used to be trapezoid. Those on your gibson look like crowns. Is it a special edition?

If someone calls a Squire a Fender I would call it a copy. People were insistant that epiphones LP's weren't copie guitar. If you go o to Wilkepedia and scroll down you will see they make about 20 copies of Gibson guitars. It says the word COPY, it isn't a person expressing their opinion it's fact. Just to be clear if you prefer an epiphone over a Gibson, I don't have a problem with that.

Yea...I was wondering where I might get that exact same Epiphone that he has...I like the top that it has on it. I just need to find the place to get it.

Whatever. I guess that's why Les Paul has authorized his signature to be on the Epiphone, like all other copies.And make sure you go to the Fender Standard Series guitars videos and post comments about those "copies" -- See what they have to say. |
