Hi
I want to ask some questions about this guitar. Does it come in vintage white? Is the thickness of the body the same as a les paul from gibson? Does it sound better or different then a lp?
Thanks

I don't know about the color options. It sounds different than a stock LP, but if you put EMGs into the LP, then it sounds pretty similar.
Thickness:

It totally depends what pickups you use. I have Bareknuckle Mules (basically vintage PAFs) in mine, and it definitely has that heavy, throaty Gibson sound, and the sustain you'd expect from an LP.

According to the export series page, they come in vintage black and snow white. I am not sure where you live, but these are not available in the US,

I live in belgium so that wont be a problem. I knew I had seen those colors on a FT eclipse somewhere.

I'm not sure where you can find them normally, because that one was part of a limited standard series run commissioned by bmusic Australia in 2006. Maybe try Ishibashi? Sorry I can't be more help, man. It's definitely worth the trouble of looking!

lol, I already traded it away (because the scale length wasn't working for me), and then traded away the guitar I got for it for an amp head :)
