I play guitar professionally and own a 1979 Gibson ES347TD. I'm pretty sure that the Gibson Melody Maker is currently Gibson's most affordable guitar. It lists for less than US$530.00 and typically retails for way less than that. I've seen it as low as 350 bucks! Forty percent off list would be even less than that, so maybe you could do better. By the way, Epiphone is Gibson's second brand (one of many), similar to Fender's Squier line. Those instruments sell for a lot less. The inexpensive Guitars are good entry-level instruments, but they are not suitable for professional use. However -- and this purely my opinion, which will be refuted vociferously by many -- I think that you get more bang for the buck with the Epiphones in the moderate price range than you do with the Gibsons. In other words, if you're spending less than, say, a thousand bucks, you'll get a better Epiphone axe than a similarly priced Gibson. --- ya that and some low level sg's are pretty cheap, or a les paul jr is only 600 Epiphones aren't "unsuitable for professional use". The Beatles, John Lee Hooker, The Strokes, Oasis, The All-American Rejects and Carol Kaye are just a few examples of professional (some of them legendary) players who have used Epiphones in their career. Epiphone's archtops are especially well made, in my opinion superior to their Les Pauls and SGs. I have seen $500 Epiphone archtops like the Dot Standard and the Riviera beat out a $1000 Gibson ES-333 for sound, playing comfort and cosmetics.
With nothing said about the quality of the guitar, you can have one for free or to a very low cost.

The Gibson Les Paul Axcess contains a Floyd Rose. It's the most salient model of the Les Paul that has a whammy bar attached. There are a few limited runs like the Gibson Les Paul Florentine that comes with a Bigsby attached. Otherwise, custom modification of the Les Paul may be done by custom ordering, or using after-market products such as the Vibramate.
