Looks good however, I have said befor to many people try to get your hands on a Samick Greg Bennett, I have one and they are very good quilty for the money. Samick make peavey guitars as well as many other high street names they used to make epiphones as well..

They do benifit from a pick up change but all in all they are streets ahead of other budget guitars in my opinion.

Not a big fan of the Les Paul, but i suppose it's ok for the price. Trouble with cheap guitars is you never know what you are gonna get for the price, so try before you buy.
I have not heard of this make before, are they an offshoot of another company? i do know of the Australian company Paul Sheridan, that makes expensive classical guitars.

Before you settle on this guitar, try out as many different makes as you can for around the same price, and then decide.

EDIT:

Just found this

Sheridan Guitars les paul custom a200 distributed by the Westfield Guitar Co
Chinese made.I had to send 2 back and get a refund.Numerous flaws and issues.
The worst being you cannot screw the bridge down far enough to get an action below 4/64ths.Total design fault of neck and body relation.Loads of uneven frets causing buzzing regardless of a good set up.Its looks ok but thats where the similarity ends when it pretends to be a playable instrument.
Purchased mine from Intersales Music Kettering in the UK they said they set it up.I have been doing set ups for years and the guitars had never been touched.Always try guitars before you buy even if you have to pay a premium at your local shop its a lesson we should always learn.I will never buy online.

With a little more research i have found that Sheridan are owned by Westfield, a rather poor made for the British market Chinese guitar. If a Westfield is anything to go by, do not touch the Sheridan with a bargepole. If you want cheap badly made, poor sounding guitars, you won't get any better than a Westfield..............................well apart from an Encore.
