Fix my brainfart: Traditional LP body shape on a non-Gibson/Epiphone?

OK... Totally brainfarting here. I know there's Edwards, Burny, Grassroots, and Greco... But I really can't think of anything else, but I'm sure there's more.

 

Basically, I'm looking for a good Les Paul for my friend to buy my other friend (her fiance). Problem is that she's got a $300 price range. That Burny I price-checked in the other thread would've been perfect if it hadn't sold already. LOL

 

So, link me to traditionally-shaped Les Pauls that can be gotten in that price range, new or used. Give me ideas, guys. The key, though, is quality.

 

Going a bit above that price is allowed, but don't go too far, guys.

They made Epiphone LP's and SG's with the Gibson headstock for quite awhile but only for overseas.
They look identical too the Gibbys headstock and all.
I see them on the Japanese sites often and they do look really nice.
Edwards would be my first choice though. They are very very Gibson like imo.

Sadly, if I had an extra $800 to throw in for an Edwards, I would probably never have even started this thread. LOL If I could shoot for a Japanese Edwards, abso{censored}inglutely!

 

However... Has anybody ever purchased a Grassroots? I can't seem to find any place that actually sells them online.

If you get grab one over there... a Vintage might fall into that price range...
:idk:



Somebody mentioned on the MyLesPaul forum that someone was selling Vintage V100s in the US for over $1000 :eek:

I can't make the recommendation myself, but I do know that if a similar question is asked on the MLP forum, that there will be a large number of "Agile all the way" opinions.
