I'm thinking about buying a Les Paul

Post by Lying In My Grave »

but that's about all i know. i dont know what the year is or anything. i only know my friend said she'd sell it to me with an amp for a few hundred canadian dollars.
forgive me for not knowing anything about it, last time we discussed it was at christmas, when i didnt have money to consider it. anyways, this is what it looks like - http://www.epiphone.com/news/2002/images/ensb.jpg

what is price range usually? should i bother?

yeah, I own a cheap $200 epi I learned on long ago sitting around the room stringless and unplayed for about 3 years...nice beginning electric, but I wouldn't spend even a few hundred on an epi...hold out and do some comparison playing :)
