Hello ladies and gentlemen, pleased to make your aquaintance.
I'm new to these forums, so first of all i'd like to introduce myself.
My name is Adam, i'm 23 years old.. and i live in the Netherlands.
I've been playing guitar for about 1-2 years, using an Ibanez GRX40 that came in a beginner's set. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's a decent guitar for the price (stratocaster clone) but i wanted to try something new. A Les Paul came to mind, however as "the real deal" was a bit too expensive for me i stumbled upon a Greco les paul on ebay. From some articles about Greco and other japanese brands like Burny i kind of concluded it would be a smarter purchase for me than a Epiphone or a comparable guitar. So, soon i will be the owner of the following guitar:

It's the first time i've bought a guitar on ebay, the price seemed right (epiphone version costs the same/more where i live!), please tell me more about this guitar if possible. For example how does it compare to it's Gibson counterpart, both modern and old? Was it a good purchase or have i been ripped off? I'm kind of nervous to be honest, i can play guitar but on the other hand i'm not much of a high-end gear expert.
Best regards and may peace be with you,
Adam
