Like the guy before me, yes is does suit punk rock. The humbucks are ok for both blues to trashing heavy metal. Certainly above comparision than any Epiphone and much Cheaper

I bought this guitar this year (2000). It has 22 frets, twin covered humbuckers, with volume and tone for each, and a 3 way selector switch. all the pickups and components are the company's own. it has a deep red woodgrain glossy finish, with all gold componentry. fixed bridge, an thin neck uncharacteristic for a les paul.

I play punk rock, this suits it perfectly! i run through a marshall valvestate 100 watt amp. it gives me a real rich aggressive sound using the bridge pickup, right through to a well rounded full sound from the neck pickup.
when looking at what to purchace, i compared the gibson Les Paul and this, and this is very close to the gibson sound

It has a fairly high action (like most les pauls) which i like, with no vibration against the frets.
everything was very neat and well put together, i have found no fault yet

I've played with this live already, and it held up just fine. the finish is developing fine scratches from the picking, but it seems strong enough. the strap buttons are secure, and of a reasnoble size, i havent had it fall off the strap yet...
i always use a backup guitar, but with this, its only incase i break a string.

This is an excellent budget guitar. I compared the epiphone and this, and actually liked this better. it has a very nice thin fast neck and a beautiful sound, all for 300 bucks less than the epiphone. a fine instrument at a rediculously good price
