I am seriously considering getting one of these guitars. I was wondering if someone could tell me if there is a major difference between the G-400 and the Les Paul. I mean sound-wise and how they play... I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to compare them for myself because the music stores where I live are awful. I like the way the G-400 looks better, but the Les Paul is a really well-known guitar. So any opinions or advice would be great.

WOW the second guitar you posted is REALLY cool looking...
But the thing is, the epiphone guitars of this model are only around $350, which is A LOT cheaper than Gibson and from what I've read they play about the same..
Quite different. A lot of people will say that Epi and Gibson play about the same, but that's because a lot of people don't know what they're talking about.

Anyway, I have an Epi Goth Les Paul that I've been playing for around 8 years now. It's quite a bit thinner than a Gibson and it doesn't have a maple cap. It's a decent guitar and I like it a lot. It's brighter than a Gibson Les Paul and is great for rock/metal. I wasn't a fan of the stock pickups and eventually stuck a set of EMGs in it.

I own a couple of Gibson Les Pauls and the Epi is still in regular rotation.

Thanks, that's good to know... so it's a decent guitar for the price then?
