Wow,I'm not familiar enough with the Les paul to spot the fake one... :eek: I had an epiphone les paul copy once,but I didn't have it long,it was years ago.

I prefer to buy from music stores in the area. I can see what i want,play the guitar,and get good service. Sometimes the lowest price is not the best idea.

The sales people are very helpful and know what's working for people who play in bands, etc.. :cool:
