I had recently purchased and returned a Gibson LP Traditional, and after being unable to find one with decent fit/finish I decided I'm done with Gibson. However, I still wanted a Les Paul style guitar. I had been researching the Japanese copies (Tokai,Burny,Greco, Edwards) but they are just too difficult to come by. So I pulled the trigger on an ESP Eclipse II, and I must say it is amazing guitar. The build quality is exceptional and it makes the Gibson look like an Epiphone. I'll post some pics in a few.
