Some of us aren't really interested in the real (Gibson) Les Paul, we are more appreciative of copies which mock the real deal, especially the impressive ones with alluring asking prices. I've recently re-tried the Grassroots G-LP-50S at Tymusic not because I'm an ardent LP fan; I find LPs difficult to play; they tend to muck up at the neck humbucker & really leave single notes definition much to be desired. However, the G-LP-50S sports a very appealing neck profile unlike the default, bulky LP necks of the originals. It sports this slim neck dimension but unlike Gibson's slim tapered '60s make, there's more width here to make the Eastern replication a signature presence of sorts. The overall craftsmanship of the Korean G-LP-50Ss are above average & do not manifest the haphazard craftsmanship of tired factory hands.These guitars are currently on sale at Tymusic & they are recommended for us dweebs who embrace the LP outline & construction as a very charming handiwork.
PS: Thanks Tymusic for the hospitality! :-)

yo dear subbie. pardon me another question, in about the same price bracket, Hows the comparation between this grassroot and Rally?
Really thank you so much!
Rally is an interpretation of the LP, the dimensions (body) are off, the pickups aren't there to appease the LP purists per se but it has a wonderful feel & tone; one of the most pleasant & desirable in this price range.
the Grassroots comes closer to the real deal in terms of looks & dimensions but the neck remains to be an acquired taste to LP fans.
both guitars appeal in their own ways, we just have to decide after trying them in person.
