Worth buying? Probably not. One of the reasons to own a Les Paul model is the fabulous sustain the guitar generates. A large contributing factor to this is the rigidity of the fixed, glued neck joint. Bolt-on necks can be either good or bad, depending on how tight and snug the neck fits into the pocket. In cheap guitars, this is usually a matter of how easily and quickly the neck can be attached to the body, not how well the guitar plays.
I would be almost certain that you're not dealing with a guitar with a mahogany body with a maple cap, either. The guitar in question may look like a Les Paul, but will it play like one and sound like one? For only $50, that's doubtful.
