Hi Bender
So I gather you love the fat bluesy rock sound of a Gibson. Gibson have great sustain capability especially the Les Paul Studio Model. I has a maple top, mahogany neck, hand-sanded and with tremendous harmonic and soic capabilities.
The Epiphone Les Paul Custom does not have the real ebony-fingerboard, super slim frets like the real Gibson LP Custom.
The Samick can be purchased for under $500 on E-bay. Having said this, I tried one at my shop and was not impressed. The hardware was very nice but the fingerboard is in no way comparable to Gibson Les Paul Studio nor the Epiphone. But then, the difference in price shows this.
If you could afford the Gibson Studio, go for it because this is aninvestment that will eventually pay off later down the years. The major difference with Epiphone and all the other makes is that Gibson gets better with age. Not so with Epiphone, or any clones on the market.
When You buy an original Fender, Gibson, Jackson, Martin or whatever, the wood used is top-notch and has been aged properly. When you play them, the vibration of the wood penetrates in the wood and in the long run, the sound improves just like a vintage wine gets better and more expensive with time.
