That said I'd probably still opt for a Gibson mainly for the looks, chunkier neck and higher quality feeling finish. Although the Epi Custom Pro seems to have a thicker neck than most of their LPs and the stock pickups are alright.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
BUT as with all Gibsons, seek them out and play them first, they really do vary, although sometimes it's as simple as a tweek in the setup to get it just right.
Good luck with the hunt.

I later in 2001 bought a new Les Paul custom historic and sadly could not see a future with it.
Still both Les Pauls were very good for the money to an extent.
Sometimes you will see two strips of wood inlaid either side of the truss rod, this is usually a sign that a professional has done it - although there are many pros who don't if the break is clean and it goes back together well. You can usually see this sort of thing even if it's been finished over in a solid colour, if you look under a strong light - there's usually some sinkage around the joins.
