I have my latest project. My brother bought a black Epiphone Les Paul Custom, via Gumtree, for £150. It is a present for my nephew. He has done all the cleaning and oiled the fingerboard. My part is to restring it and do a full set up, including any nut work. He had to buy a pickguard, strap buttons and some fixings. So hopefully, I require no more bits.
Looking forward to getting into it.

Do what you do so well Jocko and enjoy the guitar for a short time.
This isn’t a scientific comparison of the two brands, but when I fonud absolutely nothing wrong with the Epiphone 339 it convinced me to not want to stretch to Gibson prices for anything.
I too have a hankering for an E Les Paul but also have the tones covered elsewhere. LPs do have a different feel though, which is partly due to the neck angle.
Must do something about this GAS. I’ll probably be trying some Gretsches in the near future.
Anyway, Jocko, looking forward to seeing how that black LP is coming along
