OK, so you have a problem with the price of a Gibson does that also include the high prices of PRS, Fender Custom Shop, etc.. Gibson get's it's bad rap for being owned by a greedy moron....no different than the other company's. Fact is that the price structure and quality is right on par with MANY other big names.

Re: @#$&$&@ gibson, why so much $$$
In my old age I have observed afew things
1 - You are a Les PAul guy, a Strat Guy, or a something else guy. The Gibson issues only apply if you are the Les Paul guy
2 - If it feels good, and sounds good, it is good. These days after about 350 bucks, maybe 500 at the most, you are paying for aesthetics, brand name, whatever - but not tone and feel for the most part. After 1000 - it's all vanity.
3 - I'm a Paul guy - If its a set neck, 22 fret, dual bucker, stop tail, single cut guitar - It's an LP. Gibson or not.
But - if Gibson Les Paul is what you have to have - get one. A real one. But play enough before you buy to know what a good one is. And decide if it must be new and Gibson, or just Gibson. There is something to be said for virgins - and something to be said for the ladies with a little experience. Take your time, be patient and make it count either way. Because with a killer righteous Paul, you only need one. Forever.

I've never played and SG copy that felt like a Gibson (not much experience wth LP copies).
Nitro has pretty significant influence on feel and tone. Any guitar $500 and less will have a pretty thick coat of poly. I will at least feel different from a Gibson....maybe sound different to those with good ears. It probably won't translate into something a listener will notice, but those subtle changes do affect the overall feel IMO.

Re: @#$&$&@ gibson, why so much $$$
No matter how much Gibson charges for their guitars, or how much some of us may bitch and moan about it, there is still the undeniable fact that nothing, repeat NOTHING, sounds, plays, or looks like a Gibson.
Do I like my Hamer? Undoubtedly.
My many Epi's? You bet.
How about the Yamahas? Right-O.
Nevertheless, only my LP is a LP, no matter how good the other guitars are.
