That looks more sexy than my rusty old Peavy I hardly play anymore. (Saxophone 4 Lyfe)
I would buy that.

I've always wanted a Les Paul custom, probably because of Slash and Jimmy Page.
This could be the first game to get somebody a piece of ass.
It's revolutionary!

Neither Gibson or Fender are better than the other. Their instruments are built entirely differently; sound different, feel different, look different. You can't (or at least shouldn't) claim either is superior.
That said, the Epiphone Les Paul Junior is literally the worst big brand guitar you can buy. I've had to fix a few, they ain't pretty. Uneven frets all over the place, terrible wiring jobs, badly cut nuts, dogshit tuners, plywood bodies and the neck which was meant to be maple turned out to be some kind of ply poplar. If you try to learn guitar using one of those you'll only drive yourself insane and piss away your money. Literally any other Epiphone/Squier/Yamaha/Vintage/Agile/Rally/Tokai/LTD/Ibanez/Schecter/Washburn/Cort guitar will be better to start off with. And don't think that "it'll do and is a good deal at least". It's not a good deal when it won't do and that's not elitist snobbery, that's the simple fact that you can't enjoy and learn how to play an inatrument when the fucker is always out of tune and breaks on you a week in.
If you really want to learn, whether with this game or otherwise, do yourself a favour and dont look twice at Squier Bullet series, Epiphone LP Jrs or LP Special-IIs. You will only get pissed off with them, no matter how much of a casual player or beginner you are.

You think so? I've always preferred the feel of gibsons, personally. Keep in mind that my skill level is amateur at best, though

Yeah this ain't the best guitar for rocksmith, IMO, I've played around with the guitar before so I would know, I never agreed to notion of buying a complete crap guitar to learn guitar, I say start in the 400 hundred range
Love proper Les Paul Jr. Guitars. It's weird when they have them without the P90s - seems pointless. I love the jrs for the simplicity of the guitar and the incredible sound of the P90.
@Ace Flibble -- Agree completely. The Epiphone and Squire brands are terrible instruments. They take advantage of the Fender/Gibson brand recognition to get consumers to purchase shoddy products. But hey, at least they look nice.
Still, I wager this Gibson will surpass the cruddy $300 Fender Squire with a plastic fretboard that Rockband was trying to sell us (I like how they forgot to tell everyone you needed to buy a $40 MIDI adapter for the guitar as well).

@sohei It won't. Both are equally terrible. Both seemed to have the same tuners, in fact. What a lot of people don't realise is that most of the Indonesian and Chinese-made guitars are made int he same few factories using the same parts; the only differences are the headstock shapes and what brand name is slappe don them. With the cheaper Squiers and Epiphoens all you're paying for is the name/licensing of the "true" body shape. That extends to both this craptastic Epiphone LP Jr and the Squier Rock Band controller with its plastic fretboard and misplaced bridge.
I honetsly think it's downright irresponsible and inconsiderate of these companies to put out these games with such garbage "instruments", advertising them as a good way to learn. There are many arguments against learning by sigh like this anyway, add in a turd guitar that even Zakk Wylde would turn his nose up at (and that guy will shill anything) and you've got a recipe for many people being completely turned off playing music and pissing large chunks of money away.
That said, the Squier Classic Vibe guitars are alright for the money, as are the Vintage Modified and Classic Vibe basses - although the Vintage Modified guitars suck - and Epiphone do make some really good guitars once you start paying a little more; the old Epiphone Elitist series was made in Japan and on par with Gibson Standard production models and the older Epiphoens made in Korea were generally good for the price tag. But the sub-£350/$400 Epiphones are turd, plain and simple. It's a sad fact of electric guitar that if you want an instrument that isn't going to drive you insane with its problems then you've got to be willing to spend a solid few hundred on it. Bass players are a little luckier but not by much.
I suppose it could be worse, people who want to learn cello are really fucked. Come on Harmonix, make Cello Band already.
