I totally agree with you! I recently bought an EPI les paul standard flame top, and with an $80.00 pro set-up(the intonation was really out,also filed the frets, and lowered the action to perfection), this guitar is the cat’s f&*%^&n’ ass!! I love it!
Tell me if I’m wrong but the finishes on these are beautiful! Tone and all is everything that it’s more expensive cousin puts out. With a pro
set-up this guitar is everything you want. You may have to replace the hardware(tuners,pick-ups,bridge,switch,) over time but as far as the frame goes this thing is absolutely as good as the gibson frame. And the good thing about this guitar is even if you buy it and switch the hardware to your liking, it still costs you a fraction of the price of a Gibson.
My advice is this: Save your money,Buy an EPI,
customize it to your specs, and enjoy as long as you would expect a Gibson to last! And spend your extra cash on another one!!!!
