Epiphone guitars do not have the same high specs that Gibson guitars do because Epiphone are affordable and they are more of an entry level guitar. They have all the same features {ie shape,neck scale,layout} but are made from cheaper componants then the Gibson guitars. You could buy an Epiphone Les Paul and replace the pick-ups in it to get nearly the same tone as an original Gibson Les Paul. Hence why Epiphone are cheaper then Gibson.<br><b>References : </b><br>Guitar player for 12 years. Hi, Epiphone are a sub-division of Gibson guitars, basically, Gibson own Epiphone.

The price you pay for a real Gibson is for the quality of the wood, the electrics and most importantly the sound. A beginner might not notice, but an experienced guitarist will be able to tell you which one is which by hearing it because one simply sounds cheaper.<br><b>References : </b><br> They might look identical but looks mean nothing.
