Used Guitars

Right now I'm looking for a second guitar.

The stuff I play is mostly Red hot chili peppers (funky;uses mostly cleans) and right now I'm experimenting a lot in blues (improv), and then classic rock. Althought i do like to play metal occasionally. So i thought that a Les Paul would handle of all this nicely. And i played a Gibson Les Paul Classic ($2,000) at a guitar center and i loved it. But thats a lot of money and I dont know if I'm willing to spend that much just yet (i might have that money, but i might need for it for other things).

But today i visited a shop around where i live and they had a used Epiphone Les paul (I dont know the model, but i will give them a call to see if they'll tell me) with a Seymour Duncan pickup in the bridge for $299. The guy told me that normally it would go for about $500. So the question is:

Should I get it??

- also: they had a lot of used acoustics there... i'd also like to know what are some things i should consider before I buy used guitars?

Thanks a Lot!!! any help would be MUCH appreciated!
