Epiphone Les Paul Custom
The low price and great feature set mean that compromises had to be made somewhere. In this case, they compromised on fretwork and finishing. The guitar sounds very good and authentic, and with the right setup it can be a great player’s guitar too!
Epiphone SG Custom
At £489, the Epiphone SG Custom is competing with some very high-quality Schecter and ESP LTD guitars that would not have such glaring quality control issues. That said, it is still a good player’s guitar, especially after a setup.
