the epiphones i've played were SG and Les Paul custom replicas.. I've played a few Jacksons and I didn't like them too much.. but I'm pretty sure they were lower models.. How different are Epiphones from Gibsons? I know the pickups are probably different.. but the sound.. I love the Les Paul body.. and if a replica isn't bad then I wouldn't mind getting one.. but if it's not even close to a real Les Paul i'd rather just get the gibson
