looking to buy a cheap les paul from gibson
1. i currently own an ESP ltd Ec1000 (with seymour duncan 59′ jb pickups) ..so would buying a gibson really make a huge difference? cuz the ec is mahogany and stuff as well and has summilar pu.
2. should i get the vintage mahogany (faded) series or the studio series and why
3. do i get better quality instruments from a les paul studio or VM OR a fender american strat ?

I believe one of them was a Gibson Flying V and I think the other was a vintage Fender Strat, but I’m not really sure!

i think they are ok guitars, but they arent the best on my opinion by a long shot. here’s why.

Gibson – they are way overpriced. They are good guitars, but they arent worth 2500 bucks. I would think about buying a les paul if it was like 600, but its not even worth that much. they are also 5 piuunds or so more than any other guitar i have used. and, on top of all that, everyone i know wants one like its their life dream!

Fender – I am not as critical about these guys. they are cheaper priced, but their quality has gone down in the passing years. now a good majority of rtheir guitars are made in mexico and to my stanards many of them barely pass as a starter guitar. i do like the telecaster series-the ones with the humbucker pickups, not singles. i do not like that everyone thinks this is the best brand out there.

now i have to admit the vintage guitars from eachof these brands are probably amazing. i have not tried a vintage but i hear a lot of good stuff about them.

anyway what would I reccomend? i have never had a bad experience with an ibenez guitars (aside from the starter guitar, or the gio series (same thing)) they are made solid and as long as you dont throw it against a wall or anything the paint job wont chip. i reccomend this guitar, and i can honestly say that is the best guitar i have ever played.

the only problem with that guitar is the middle pickup gets in the way, but thats the way i play.

character not in how the thing looks, but type of sound. ex. an old guitar may not have a tone as good a new but has that vintage character. or a taylor sounds bright, n a gibson sounds mellow, but both have good tone…

It looks pretty sweet but I’m no guitar expert. I’ve heard it’s just as good as a Gibson, not like the Squire garbage fender makes where they fall apart a week after you get them. This is a real guitar here. It’s just a standard SG make to look like a clssic, right? Now I know it looks cool, but does it sound good? Tell me what you think of this guitar. (by the way I’m getting the cherry-colored one for my birthday!)
Please give me some input!!!

I was recently given a Gibson ES-125 and would love to keep it around for a while. Should I keep the strings on? Keep it dry or humid? What else needs to be done to maintain it?
