im pretty sure all les pauls are made out of mahogany and they are all single pieces unlike a stratocaster

so if you were to get an epiphone les paul and put gibson pick ups in it it will sound 90% like a gibson les paul..the rest is the quality of the woods fault..they use the better quality stuff for the gibsons

about 2 years after i got my epiphone les paul i had to change the pots because the sound was cutting out of my pickups...

the the epiphone les paul is a different wood, putting gibson pick ups in it will give it a gibson sound

so 500+ for a epiphone les paul

150 for gibson burstbucker pro

??? for other pickup

that will top out at around 750 total..which is what mine cost

a gibson alone is around 1000

im happy with my epiphone

why the question?

Wow, nu pas door dat je iets tegen me zei. Zet het dan op mijn profiel ofzo. Ik weet niet wat het was, het was in ieder geval de goedkoopste die we konden vinden daar. 30 cent voor een halve liter als ik het goed heb.
