i like the mexi teles (cant afford the american made) but i havent heard much about the japanese made ones. never played one myself. some people pick them up cheap on ebay and modify them since the hardware leaves something to be desired. you could check http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar they have good reviews. what type of les-paul do you have? my friend let me use his LP standard and this Epiphone Sheraton II. I liked them both but the Sheraton won me over.
