Always wanted a les paul?

Question

yknow ive always wanted a les paul like just about any other starting off guitarist lookin' up to the big boys haha. anyways as most of you should know the price tag on the gibson les paul is quite wow...usually well over a 1000, anyways i also came by the epiphone version, kinda like the squier of the fenders right? anyways to the point if i setlled for an epiphone would it be that much worse? cuz i knwo for sure around these days or at least till i get outa highschool and college there no way id be able to hold onto over 1000 dollars. so im considering an epiphone, although its still a bit expensive im wondering, is it still ok?

Answer 1

Go for the Epiphone, or even consider a killer Japanese copy (like a used Greco on eBay) that could even be BETTER than the real thing.
