    Good Epiphone alternatives which should be around the same price but may be slightly better built and nicer to play/listen to - the cheaper Tokais and Burnys, which are Japanese companies whose LP copies gave Gibson a serious run for their money in the 70s and 80s. A particularly nice Tokai or Burny LP from that period will usually command over £1k.

    They now do lower-priced Korean and Chinese models too, which are usually pretty solid, sometimes excellent. They have a low profile over here because of the possibility of legal action from Gibson/Epiphone, but you can still find them relatively easily on the used market and they're worth seeking out.

     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    I ended up putting a cheeky bid on this and won it, it seems legit, the truss rod cover is a little crooked and it looks like it was done in the factory, the finish has bloomed around the logo, could this be a factory seconds? Ive been asking over on this forum. http://www.mylespaul.com/threads/new-thinking-about-buying-this.392435/     I'm uploading some photos to my onedrive, photobucket is broken and wont recognise any of my photos! Ill post a link when its done.
