64%.

It helps that I was alive and playing in the 70's so I remember those 70's colors.

I guessed my way to a 15/25. I don’t play LPs, so I was never going to do any better.

I got 85% but I spend a lot of times looking at Les Pauls.
Always look at the horn and knobs positions. The lawsuit companies would get one or the other right but never both.
Guitars:
'78 Les Paul Pro / '89 SG Special/ '04 Gibson Les Paul Classic 3 pickup / Jackson Star/ Endres Tele / Fernandes Rhoads/ ''74 Hohner MIJ strat/ 2 Partscasters

Amps:
Depends on when you ask. I got tired of constantly updating this section lol

Cabs
Marshall 1960A w V30s/ Seismic 2x12 w Redback and V30.

64% here.

One thing I think I noticed was that the horn on the Greco's seemed pointy when compared to a softer rounded Gibson. But that could just be me trying to figure out the system lol

Correct. And the angle of the horn is slightly wider too.
Ibanez gets the horn right but the knobs are too close together.

I didn't even think about the knobs! Great catch. I was looking at the bridge angles and that seemed futile. That being said, some of the copies they showed were super sexy.

I looked a lot at the plastics. The copies were nearly all super white.

Some of those pics sucked balls, but I'm not a huge les paul expert. 44%, which is honestly better than I thought I'd do.
