Very difficult to answer a question like that. It's rather what your economy can allow for you to buy. If you can get a Gibson without hurting too much financialy then that would be ther better deal compared to an Epiphone.
But you can get an Epi that's good enough compared to the real think. When I bought my Epi LP I tried out several Epi LP models in the store and one Gibson. The Gibson felt and sounded better than the Epi's but there were one Epi that was rather close to the feel and sound of the Gibson. So I went with that one instead of paying three times the money for slightly better sound. That was in the store, at low volume, who knows how much better it would have sounded playing loud. I'm perfectly happy with the Epiphone though. Maybe because I never got used to a real Gibson  My desicion was financial and I don't regret it. If someone was forcing me to buy either one Gibson or three Epiphone LP's and the cost wouldn't hurt my economy I would get a Gibson. No doubt! -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (PolackHax0r @ Nov 1 2007, 07:10 PM)  Not that I have, but can't you just buy the epi and replace the pickups to get the sound of a Gibson? Sadly its not that easy - a guitar sound is about way more than just the pickups. Things such as the type and quality of the wood, and the workmanship also play a huge part, and explain to a certain extent why a real LP is more than an Epi.
