I got my 3rd & 4th Electric Guitars on E-Bay, saved a fortune
my 3rd is a Gibson ES-335 Copy by Washburn (a Delta King as per pic's)
and a Fender Telecaster '72 reissue
but like anything on Ebay (or online), you have to deal with somebody that has decent feedback,
and has good communication & decent pictures ( I ask for another pic of say a close up of the pick-ups just to make sure that they are of the actual guitar not just using pics found off the net.
As for them sounding just like a Gibson,
ANY brand will have their Budget, Mid Range, Top Shelf Guitars
and you cant compare your favorite "Axeman's" sound to that from a budget Guitar, its all in the setup and what you are playing it through. the same guitar can sound VERY different through a different amp and/or effects pedal
my best suggestion would be to find a guitar on Ebay, then research that model,
try the "User Review" section on Harmony Central
http://reviews.harmony-central.com/and find out what other players are saying about it and what its worth.
Hope that helps....
