| If what you really want is a Les Paul, I'd just go and try some first hand and see what you think, there's nothing worse than spending that kind of money and ending up wishing you had something else. I did that when I traded an Epiphone Les Paul in on a Burns Brian May and I just ended up missing my Les Paul until I could afford a Gibson.
I've no idea what the quality of new Epiphones are like these days, but there's always the second hand market. As I said, I had an Epiphone custom years ago that cost me £375, and whilst there's no denying my Gibson is a superior instrument the build quality on the Epiphone was pretty good, it was only really the pickups that let it down and they are easily replaced/upgraded for a little more money.
As the last few posts have said, you just really can't beat trying for yourself, it's a very personal thing. If you're in Hull, go to Bad Dog Music on Savile Street.

As he's already got one (see previous page) he could spend the full £500 on prostitutes.

| I've only been playing for a couple of years using a Les Paul Studio. Beautiful guitar and suits me perfectly.
My instructor had a Danelectro DC59 which I thought was stunning. I bought one for £220 from eBay (brand new), amazing guitar with wonderful tone. Pretty lightweight too.

| Personally I'd save or borrow another 300 quid and buy a Japanese-made Tokai or keep an eye out for a pre-loved one. Also I would rather have the Korean-made Tokai than the Epi they churn out these days.
