Epiphone Les Paul vs Gibson Les Paul

I have both a gibson and an epiphone and the main differences I noticed were that the fretboard radius is flatter on the epiphone, and the heel of the neck sticks out more, making it harder to reach the 22nd fret.
i have an epiphone les paul and i love it i am soon upgrading to a sponsor given gibson now i have played an epiphone and gibson at samash and i do agree with ray and anyone who agrees with ray is awsome and i dont like that the guitar goes out of tune after a while but its great for an experienced player.
Epiphone Les Pauls can be great value for the price, but you just can’t beat a Gibson Les Paul. However Epis are great for beginner to intermediate players.
I love the gibsons but the epipiphone are a steal for the money. If you have a few thousand than you would go with the gibson but if you have few hundred then the epiphone is great
I have a 2003 Saine Plant Korean Epiphone Custom LP with a S/M Duncan bridge pickup. I am planning on getting a new Gibson Studio LP soon. I have two questions,,are the stock pickups in the Studio any good? And,,,is that stock Studio going to sound as good as my Epi? I am happy with the Epiphone, it plays as good as it can,,,only my lack of talent holds it back.
I have a 91 Studio, the only difference I can speak of between the Studio and a Custom is that the Studio doesn’t have the white trim. Pickups are great. They’re not 1957 PAFs but they sound like humbuckers!
As good or worse than your Epiphone, only you can answer that one my friend. If you love an instrument, it will love you back.
All I can say is don’t sweat the details, every guitar sounds different, unique, and I have yet to hear ANY electric guitar sound bad.
If you gave Steve Vai or Guthrie Govan one of those crappy, toy store, amp included, shrink wrapped electrics…
Thanx for the info,,,really like my epi,,I would still keep & play it even if I do get a Studio, which I haven’t yet. I also have a 2000 Epi Standard LP which seems to be more confortable to play than my 2003 Custom. I don’t know why,,but it took me awhile to get adjusted to the Custom. Same bodys,,,go figure,,,mabey I was afriad of the Custom because it’s so pretty,,Alpine White. The Standard is black & still has the Epiphone humbuckers in it while the Custom has a S/M Duncan in the bridge. Both guitars were built at the Saine Plant in Korea.
