Eastman SB59v vs Gibson Les Paul Standard
If you are looking for a reason to get an Eastman over a Gibson, look no further. They are just better guitars. However, if you want a Gibson Les Paul, nothing else will fill that gap for you.
PRS McCarty 594
The PRS McCarty 594 Singlecut is a truly special instrument. It will deliver a distinctly vintage experience and sound with the unmatched reliability and attention to detail that PRS are known for.
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.
Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s
At the end of the day, you are paying a premium for the Gibson logo on the headstock, but that’s ok. The Gibson Les Paul Standard is a very good instrument and a worthy alternative to Gibson’s Custom Shop reissues.
