The second is a 1969 Conrad, ES-175 model which I found on Ebay. Very nice patina and sounds good as well although the output is slightly lower.
Cool man, I think the coppies can be as good or better than there Gibson counterparts. Especially newer poorly made Gibsons. I own a Epi Les Paul Custom and with new pickups/nut/electronics it can hold its ground with pretty much most Gibson Standards/Studio's.
