If you do a search on the forum for Epiphones I think you will come up with a lot of information. Don't own a Les Paul of any description myself but I've 'borrowed' a few Epi's with a view to perhaps buying one myself some day and they all seem to be very nice guitars, on the whole well built. Hardware will not be as nice as the real thing but it's a big price difference. The one you mention sounds okay. There is a lot of good oil in the guitar tech stickies which, although primarily aimed at helping folks set up and maintain a guitar, gives you a pretty good idea what to look for when buying too. Check out the threads written by UGB particularly and the similar threads/forums listed below.
