Best Budget Les Paul Copy - In your opinion! :)

[Enduran]

Greeting Good Rocking Folks!

I know, No matter what still the Original Gibson Les Paul guitar is by far the best, they are the authentic maker of Mr Les Paul's Design.
But over the year, perhaps every guitar company has imitated and copied the Solid-body design and made something similar.

I just wonder of all this copies, which is the best Les Paul copy out there? And the best bang for Bucks, best Budget Les Paul Copy out there!

Keep Rocking on people! \m/
Thank you for sharing!

depends on your budget what...

i love the japanese copies, the edwards and burnys in particular

If lets say my Budget were to be about 500 bucks?

Sub?

Sub=subversion...
For 500 get a Rally, and a nice hardcase or efx. Or upgrade your amp.

 

[subversion]

no best here in my books, just some that i tried which sounded & played well (the reason i bought them...). remember, it's not a 'Les Paul', just a copy...

Grassroots: G-LP50-S

Edwards: E-LP85SD/P

The GrassRoots LP copy fits your budget range nicely. I +1 to that recommendation.

A Les Paul Copy? In my opinion, the Korean/Japan made Epiphones in the 90s have really good wood used and when its all well set-up..pups changed and everything, its gonna be as good or even better than a Gibson and last....with a much lower cost.....

but it would cost around 600+ for the MIK Les Pauls

i have tried city music's craftsman les paul copies and i think their quality is way higher than their price. you should drop by there one of these days to try out the craftsman gs200

http://www.citymusic.com.sg/webshaper/store/viewProd.asp?pkProductItem=355

they're having their year end sale now too, so it's going for $259 from $300 plus.

I can let go of mine for $650, comes with hardcase. Pups have been changed to a GFS Crunchy Rails and a Seymour Duncan Jazz

Shizzz, good deal yo. What colour?

And are the Craftsman a maple veneer or top? Cause all the GS200 i've seen have INCREDIBLE flame. Just wondering if its a veneer or a real figured maple top

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

i think at that price it should be veneer, but not 100% sure though.

 

[LadyInTears]

im doubting if its even a veneer for that price, maybe photoflame?
