That is basically apples and oranges because guitars are as good as what the player prefers. Some rockers prefer the Les Paul to the Kramer. Go to a guitar store and try both playing your style and you will figure out what you like best.
The awnser is simple,no.There are no guitars that carry the prestige or craftsmanship of a Gibson Les Paul.Nothing compares to a Gibson Les Paul when it comes to electric guitar.
