get a greco bro... medyo olats epi LPs
Epi's are Gibson's bastard brother.. But
if you can afford it, and if it's a Les Paul, why choose a copy? Stay within the family, if pasok sa budget mo.
True, a lot of them don't sound very well (olats nga), but I suggest you shop around for one that's good.. And be attentive to details. Like for me, it has to be set-neck, trapezoidal inlays, two tone controls, two volume controls, stop tailpiece.. short of saying, a classic LP look. Although mas gusto ko humbuckers kesa P-90s, and black or burst over goldtop.
Beware of fakes, though.
Then again, if MIJ Greco/Burny/Tokai, at least good quality is consistent and fakes are not as common. Excellent LP copies as well. Really viable options while you wait for that dream guitar.
