Epiphone, Burny, there's Tokai, n so many other LP copies

Haha I think we do not need much intro here... Intending to get an LP guitar soon, but weighing these 3 "main" brands, as well as other variants like Craftsman, Cort and all.

There's a previous thread (still active I guess) bringing up the possibility of Epiphone not fulfilling the specs they display on their website, and charging you the normal price too. Then for Tokai I've heard it's mostly hip and hype that's getting it it's reputation... Burny's a saving grace for copies but haven't really touched them...

How are your experiences? Haha what do you use?

Try getting the lawsuit era copies from greco or tokai or burny, yamaha also not bad. The burny ones r said to be power, cuz of the pups, alot of r&d put into it. But all r gd enuf to make gibson wanna take legal action, so shld be gd enuf for u lah.

i've tried many, the Tokai/ Edwards models are simply praise-worthy.

some insights here:

Tokai: http://soft.com.sg/2006/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=18024

PRS SE Singlecut is a variation of the LP theme, definitely worth checking out: http://soft.com.sg/2006/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=18132

long time ago, about 1 yr ago i think..someone posted a link to page which shows the specs of burny LPs n some of them r made of plywood..

Haha aight thank you for your help. I was at one guitar store some time back and I held this Epiphone guitar for the first time... It was real "Feel" while I played it. But I'm just wondering if there are better stuff around that I can feel better with..


The lawsuit guitars that were so acclaimed were probably from the 70s back... I dun think I might be able to find or afford one that far! For vintage tastes and yet modern specs, how do the brands weigh over each other for you?

Thank you all for your links!
