Thanks Mihmac!

Yes, the JR is great, a friend o'mine has a white with a single P90, it's a rock'n roll beast! I have tried the Epi once... great tones... specially with drive, sounded pretty close to a real LP. I know that the JR (at least the one of my friend) is a better guitar than the Epi... but it's not a "classic" LP. Regarding trying guitars in a big store, it takes me time (weeks or months) to say if it sounds great or not. I haven't tried the Faded Studio made all of mahogany (without maple top), that are pretty cheap in the used guitar market, I guess they sound pretty close to a real LP, don't they?

Hi folks, I'm insterested in buying a budget "Les Paul", the best Epiphone as far as I could find out is the 60 Tribute, that comes with a made in USA electronics and Gibson 57 Classic PU set. Following you can see a great demo: The specs are not anymore in Epi website, but I found this interesting article: Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Tribute Plus Review, and seems a pretty fair review. Do you think that this would be a better choise than a Gibson LPJ or Gibson LP Junior o Melody Mayer? I think that none of these Gibson are real Les Paul -and the Epi is closer to the real one-, but at the same time, I think that the worst Gibson would be better than the best Epiphone. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!

Why does Gibson use Poplar in the middle of the plywood 3-ply Maple / Poplar / Maple? (ex: ES-335 - Sixties Cherry) What does poplar give that you don't get from 3-ply Maple / Maple / Maple or other combination of woods. Once I was told that it was savings, but I doesn't make sense for me.

Hi Gibson community! Im Ger, I play guitar, my favourite guitar is the 335 and Les Paul. Bedroom player, a little GAS...
