can someone please tell me what this guitar is ??

all i know is that it has a mahogany body ,and i think a rosewood fret pad ,a 60's style neck and its a set neck not screwed in ,it has no branding on it anywhere and that it look almost identical to a les paul classic

There are many copies of Les Pauls, I have one its a Hondo. I played that guitar until my fingers bleed. It was a POS but at 13 it was great. If you enjoy it play it

A set neck, pretty nice for a copy.. Mark

The shape of the body by the pick-up selector and the design of the neck heel reminds me of the old Aria Pro II guitars from the 80s, but the headstock shape is wrong. It could be like the modern Epiphones where one factory puts out guitars under a half dozen different names.

It looks to be a Korean Samick LP copy. Samick manufactures more guitars per year than any other company. They build guitars for several big name guitar companies and for the last 15 or so years have also marketed their own name. Those I've played are actually pretty good guitars. I've had my share of Japanese and Asian guitars and the most that's usually needed are new pots and switches. Maybe a pick up upgrade too, but some models come w/pretty decent pups out of the box. Nice guitar, enjoy!
