Gibson Les Paul Alternatives

Gibson Les Paul Alternatives

This is a saturated market with numerous brands offering Les Paul-alikes. Often there's a little bit of variation or innovation to make it more interesting and to provide the player with a guitar that suits them better than a Les Paul Standard. However, sometimes the original LP is the one to go for. Some of the guitars listed below fall more into the double-cutaway, PRS-type guitar rather than staying true to the LP form. They all retain enough of a basic Les Paul-like style to be listed here.

There are many good reasons to buy a guitar that doesn't belong to one of the big brands. Fortunately, there are many good options out there. As well as those listed below, keep an eye out for Tokai and Yamaha guitars, especially if you're looking at used guitars.
