I would buy the one you like the best...I would go for the cheaper guitar however if money is not a concern then buy the one you like best.

I typed epiphone lp in google search engine and there are all kinds of sites with the lp...here is one...The guitars are exspensive.

NO POSTING LINKs to other MUSIC STORES.

I also seen people selling on ebay for $500 to $800 +shipping...Just type in epiphone lp in the search bar on ebay.com or on ebay.ca homepage.

I was wrong about the price being $500 to $800 on ebay.com...Some guitars are going for $199 + shipping...good deals...Click the link.

NO Links to other products

always remember this!!! if you are going to spend lp money get a full fledged one...not the studio model!!!..the studio model sounds lousey and has no re-sale value! it is a waste of money!
until you have enough money to get a lp standard or custom go for epiphone....they sound better than the studio and are dirt cheap!

The finest Epi is the les Paul elite. A really nice guitar but no Gibson. The Epi elite is hand made in Japan and pretty close to the Gibson for playability. But if you want the real Les Paul tone, feel, playability etc... There's no way around it You gotta spend the $$.

Why is it that the best sounding guitars seem to be 'Hand-made in Japan'?

Rock on, Rock hard and Rock heavy!!!

They have been at it for a while now. The Japanese have had a love affair with the guitar since WWII. Some of the finest guitars in the world are Japanese.
