@@xjohn1970 I have a 07 Gibson Classic white Explorer and a 09 Epiphone 58 Korina Explorer and the Epi plays better, better neck profile, sounds better and has better build quality than the Gibson. 8/10 of the time I pick up any of my guitars now, it's that Epi (next up is a LTD H1000). It's just a better guitar overall. But that doesn't mean I don't like the Gibson. As a matter of fact I love it! That's only because there's a lot of sentimental value in that Guitar. I've spent countless hours playing it, and I know it better than anyone else ever could. So I know very well that my Gibson fails when compared to my Epiphone in every way. So in my personal opinion buy an Epiphone 58 korina, 84, Gothic, swap the nut (which is super cheap to do, maybe 50 at shop, less than 30 to do it yourself), maybe the pickups if you want, and you got a top of the line guitar without paying what you'd pay for a Gibson.
