Gibson Les Paul Money root beer

I have been offered to buy a Gibson Leas Paul in the colors root beer and gold. It looks great and the seller says it is the Money model. He have all the papers and it is made in USA in 20xx-something. Price is about $680. Although it looks great and the feeling is high quality I can see that people says it may not sound that good. I'm new in the bass guitar and need some advise here. I also consider the Hofner Ignition Violin the black for $300 or the sunburst for $400. Thanks!
