The Epi LP Standards are made out of the same wood as the Gibson LP Standards, they both have set necks and the same style bridge, I bet in a blindfolded sound comparison very few people could pick out the Gibson everytime, the main difference in price between the Gibson and Epi, is not quality, it's the brand name on the headstock. If I had an Epi LP Standard, and a little cash for parts, I could make it not sound as good as the Gibson, but better, Down with Brandname Snobbery! Power to the People! Nixon Eats Lettuce! rant, rant, rave, rave........................BTW, the worst sounding, sorry I ever bought it, excuse for a guitar I ever owned was a Gibson LP, I don't hate them, they just are not worth the money.....................
