The Epiphone Gothic les paul is not to distant to it's Gibson cousin, it contains the same electronics and additional metal-wear (machine heads, dial heads etc.) the only major difference is that the Gibson is handmade and so costs a fortune!
The Epiphone is a body heavy guitar but is also still very light when compared to something like a B.C. Rich Warlock. The Gothic les paul maintains the good tone and over all sound you would expect from Gibson but at Epiphone prices!
Clean Channel ---------------------
On a clean channel this guitar provides a good blues sound perfect for .....well blues. If given the slightest overdrive it makes for a brilliant jazz guitar.
Distorted Channel -------------------------
This is where those two Gibson humbuckers really shine through. They will deliver a fantastic rock and metal sound but maintain that brilliant tonal quality through out.
This is a fantastic quality guitar, the mahogany body is alder topped to make it lighter, and the rosewood fretboard allows for good fast almost un resisted finger motion. If you want good playability with a great sound, then the Epiphone gothic les paul is definitely your first and last step to becoming a guitar God!
