    Default My Non Gibson Les Paul

    There are thousands of different copies out there, from Tokai to whatever.
    I have checked a lot of original Gibsons, but I couldn't understand or shall I say accept the price/quality relation.

    I have always been a fan of ESP, I also own a Mirage Deluxe that I bought when I was 19. ESP has a good attitude and for me they still care about quality and offering a fair price.

    I bought my ESP Eclipse last May, I fell in love with it immediately and I can not imagine having made a better decision. I know that most people associate ESP with the Heavy Metal scene, but this guitar is a true classic with some modern features.

    Any of you guys also have a Les that is a NON Gibson?

    Yes they are stock Seymour Duncans. I had the choice between EMG and Seymour so I went for Seymour.

    Great looking axe! When I get a second electric it is likely to be of the LP ilk and I as a father of 3 am not going to pop for a Gibson. (not at least until the kids are through college). I love hearing about good quality LP alikes, and I like the look of the zebra pups!
