You can't go wrong with a Heritage or a Kiesel. Both of these companies pay attention to their quality and really build their instruments well.

I would also recommend anything out of the ESP custom shop. I'm not a big ESP guy, but I've played a few of their custom shop guitars and they were really nice.

Obviously, this all depends on what type of sound you are looking to achieve.]]> Guitar Players Discussion timtheshredder https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/4/#post-388624 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-388502 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 19:15:50 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Robert_S https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-388502 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-388431 Mon, 30 Jul 2018 18:55:12 +0000

Jester - I hear ya on the Heritage. Of course, given their price tag, I wouldn't lump them into this discussion.

Speaking of price... what about the ESP 1000 series? They are LP-styled guitars with premium equipment Duncans, Tonepros, etc) and look pretty cool. My only issue is the $750 for a new one... For $750 I can get a Gibson Studio...

Oh, and while not technically an LP style guiter, the Schecter C1 Artist Series - why the heck don't those sell better? Seems like they are giving them away.

I've seen them for even less... American Duncan pups, abalone, tone proes, grovers... seems like a great deal if you like black.]]> Guitar Players Discussion The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-172753 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-171925 Sat, 15 Apr 2006 07:25:32 +0000
i suspect it had more issues than that but it was unmarred as far as i could see and the neck seemed true also. i suspect that it had electronic issues because they would only sell it as is and would only allow you to exchange it for something else ($679) if you wanted to return it.

I'm hoping someday to stumble across another like it. :(]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-171925 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-171903 Sat, 15 Apr 2006 04:19:55 +0000
I'm visiting family near a store with a big supply of these, and spent a while today playing them and checking them out, and I've gotta say they pretty well blew me away. The quality is great, and at the Custom level, you're getting some great stuff--gold-plated appointments, nitrocellulose lacquer, Seymour Duncan buckers, real MOP inlay, great bindings, beautiful woods. The sound is great, as good or better than any LP I've heard. And for under $2,000. I've played some good Epis, but they always feel like at best they're really good knockoffs, but never better than the original. Heritage feels better than the original.

It's unlikely that I'll be able to resist going back there tomorrow to buy a Custom tobacco burst that I played today.]]> Guitar Players Discussion jester https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-171903 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-164499 Fri, 10 Mar 2006 19:00:16 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Dagwood https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-164499 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/best-les-paul-knock-off/paged/3/#post-164450 Fri, 10 Mar 2006 15:05:20 +0000
