    I bet it's real awful.

    Not only is it NOT produced by Gibson... the shape & pickup configuration is licensed to Baldwin for this cheap 3rd World knock-off... on top of that... it's a freakin' B-stock!
    Go get an Epiphone Les Paul Junior Special or Les Paul Special II.

    Neither... you'll be over 50... shipping cost put ya over.

    Save a little more and get some quality AND a warranty.
    That's my advice.

    thanks dude. but i got the epoch gibson. after watching this vid i think it sounds nice

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eg09TnT4_ZQ

    and is this true what this guy is saying? :

    hi have the same guitar i bought for 49.99 gbp on ebay type in gibson epoch and only buy off the person called avg if ur gonna by one they are amazing they are better than my fender telecaster but they play just as good as some real gibsons. ps i emailed gibson and they said that they are real gibsons because theyre in argos as gibsons. they also said that because the guitar is made by gibson they send them most gibson parts apart from the body and neck so it sounds like a real gibson

    If you read the comments on the video pretty much the majority say that it's crap. Don't say we didn't warn ya.

    I'm so hoping English isn't your first language. At least that might explain the attitude I perceive in that post as an accident. :

    Never played one, so I'll reserve judgement on it, but I had to laugh at this review of the Epoch on another site:

    man. this guitar sounds like MY guitar.. and i found my guitar for free in the trash can. my guitar's neck was almost completely snapped, but i actually repaired it and got it to play somewhat ok.
