I see what r u saying, hmmmm....Happy New Year everyone!
Zibra. I would think the Gibson is a little high end for a starter. The Epiphone you chose though is a different style of electric guitar in that it's semi acoustic, or semi hollow bodied. It's a much different sound than the Gibson Les Paul. If you want an Epiphone version of a Les Paul then you should look at this, and this I think is better for a starter. Even above better IMO. I think Jigfresh has and Epi Les Paul.
