Yes I know the Epiphone story.
I had a bandmate buy a nice Epiphone Les Paul years ago.
He couldnt afford a Gibson.
The store had a LOT of them. Quality and playability obviously varied and he played many of them for a while to find a good one.
I would have to play the Epiphone for a while to determine if it was doable. Hard to do in a trade situation sometimes.

Today's Epi's are not your daddy's Oldsmobile. I have handled several, and own several, that were as good or better than the Gibson counterparts. This is in fit, finish, playability, workmanship, etc.
I would want the serial number and throw it into the online serial checker to make sure it isn't a Chinese knock off.
