Default Guitar Center Deal of the Day Gibson M2

If I had $300 in my gear account (or my wife would let me take an advance), I’d probably pull the trigger on one of these at $299. It’s not Les Paul custom, but basically a humbuckers Melody Maker. For the price you can’t argue with a USA Gibson! Of course this would be my last color choice, but again...at $299 it’s a steal.

That 'Strawberry Milk' color is ugly.
Poplar-pine body, cheap p-ups (every review I've read that was positive the reviewer upgraded them and the rest of the electronics.) Good 'starter' electric, but I'd probably go for an Epiphone LP with coil-tapping for near the same amount of money.

Coil splitting, I believe.
