I don't see the Tokai LPs doing a better job (in handling alt, emo-core) than Burnys and Edwards.. and yes, Edwards are expensive. If you did read up on Jumbofret's thread on the MO, check up the prices of the Edwards there. After conversion, it's way cheaper. Edwards might be good.. ha!

Re: Hmm
SORRY! eh i read wrongly.. i thought another kind of alternative. But depending on the brand of LPs you buy, and like what neuro182 said.. LPs can be quite versatile.

Never doubt the power of Les Paul.

Hmm
Give that MIC LP to Yellowcard lead guitarist, don't tell me he can't whack out a good "Only One"" riff with his efx?
Give that MIC LP to Slash, don't tell me he can't pull off "Sweet Child O'Mine" solo?
Give that MIC LP to Zakk Wylde, don't tell me he can't shred as fast as he does with his Les Pauls Custom?
It depends on the players & the efx, not just the guitar itself :wink:
That's my 2 cent. Sorrie I talked too much. Oopsie.

I own a Korean epiphone les paul gold top(the humbuckers version) everythings fine. It wont sound muddy if you know how to tweak the poles on the pickup. the tone is smooth both clean and distorted, sometimes i feel its too smooth that you need some rough distortion to give it some life. But thats just me.. I think you can get the epiphone les paul classic for a more powerful tone.
The only problem i had so far with my les paul is that the pickup selector went loose after a few months of playing, but i got it easily and cheaply replaced. You can set the action to ultra low, there will be no signs of fret buzzing. Well. i cant speak for the CHina ones. Nowadays the korean les pauls are no longer in production, you can only get it second hand. I saw a couple ads selling 2nd hand korean lps quite recently.. but becareful, get their serial number, verified it online, make sure its genuinely korean made.
Alternatively.. you can check out Shine or Suzuki les pauls, these les pauls are priced somewhat similar to the epiphone ones(or even less), they're made from the korean factory that used to make epiphone les pauls.

Re: Hmm
Of course the player's skills and efx are important, well your reasoning is sound, but a little unreasonable haha. No offence dude..
From today onwards, Andy Timmons, Yngwie Malmsteem and Andy Gray shall all use TGM Strats. And Slash, Peter Frampton and Kirk Hammett shall use Crasftman LP! Can't help but give it a laugh..

Hey hifi_killer, MIK LPs are no longer in production? Well, at least they're still available at Swee Lee, went there today and saw all those stupid looking Made In Korea stickers haha! Anyway, how is a LP Custom different (all aspects) from a Classic?

Guess i'm wrong, havnt been to sweelee for quite some time, the last few times i went there i didnt see the made in korea stickers.
Differences between custom and classic.. custom has gold hardware, rectangular inlays, headstock different. Not so sure about the sound
