The two things about Gibsons that you need to be careful about are: 1. that you don't pay too much (I got my LP new for $900 and I thought it was a damn good deal, especially since list price is something like $2200 or so). and 2. That it plays well (A good playing Gibson is an amazing thing. Every time I play my Les Paul, I almost think about quitting seven string playing and just using my LP as my main guitar... Then I come to my senses and just enjoy the Gibson for how different it is from my Ibanez. My Gibson just has so much thicker of a sound).
I would recommend you buy one if you could get one for a good deal. I'd love an Arctic White Gibson Les Paul with gold hardware (those look gorgeous) or a wine red one with gold hardware. I used to prefer silver hardware, but I think gold hardware on LPs just looks great, especially when you combine it with a great color like ebony (on my LP) or arctic white or wine red...
Sometimes I want to get me some sixes.
