where bouts in australia are you? and with the random quality checks, body chambering etc i wouldnt recomend buying any guitar without playing it first, expecialy at the price as a gibson. there is one les paul i like at my local guitar shop (1 outa about 4). its vintage burst les paul standard.
they do deliverys and its a good guitar
(its been sitting there for a few years, the strings are kinda dead, but its a nice les paul)
