Hi, I read the thread briefly.
So what you bought is not what you expected when you bidded or you later found out the guitar you got is not what you expected?
The guitar seems good one to me though.
Everyone has his own preference so it is hard to say what is best for you. You need to be specific about what you are looking for even with small details such as fretboard material, weight,pickups, sound, neck shape and so on.
Once again, even if someone says best, it doesn't mean it is best for you. This is the difficult part of buying guitars without trying it.
Just like any Gibson can be poor quality guitars.
if you have 10 Gibson, they will all play differently.
Anyway, if you are looking for a quality Gibson replica, I would highly recommend one from late 70's or any of 80's. I prefer Burny over Greco with most models except some highend Greco such as EG800 and above.
Usually you will get a better deal(price and quality of guitar) with Burny than Greco.
Good Greco will always cost you more than good Burny. That's my opinion.
Each guitar is different from others. So you will need to check as many as you can and decide what's best for you.
As a player, I prefer larger frets and darker(prehaps Ebony) fingerboard. Fret edge binding is not big deal as even my Gibson guitars I own have refretted medium jumbo frets for better playability.
There are some Greco with no serial # from late 80's or early 90's and they come with larger frets from the factory than other Les Pauls and also have very dark fretboard.
I personally like them over most other Les Pauls.
They are cheaper too.
If you care about playability, stuff like that would be more important. At least that's my take.
