I’m looking at a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany $899.00 or a Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy Custom EX $849.00. I like to play some Black Sabbath, Metallica as well as some mellow tunes. I think the Gibson would be the better investment but will it give the crunch and distortion of the EX?
Thanks

Thanks but the Gibson is the bottom of the line model. Are the pickups the same quality? They aren’t EMG’s they have Alnico V burstbucker pro humbuckers. Will I still get some metal sound out of them? Why is this Les Paul $899 ans the standard is $2399.00?
Oh and by the way, some people said they would sell their Gibson to buy a Prophecy EX.
Dazed and Confused!!!!
