I own a Les Paul Epiphone Coronet electric from the 1960's so I would definitely recommend any Les Paul guitar from my experience.
The one I have is a nice easy guitar to play ... the fret to strings ratio is great and easy to use.
I would say it isn't a guitar for heavy metal etc it's about smooth rock n roll music depending on what strings you use.
I lent it to a school teacher who was in a band at a school concert and he loved it.
It's an expensive guitar to buy although they are making copies now so that might drag the price down.
