I don't know why anyone would pay that when you could get a superior hand-made replica for half from any number of luthiers. Any recommendations? For a Les Paul? Heritage H-150/H-157 or Carvin/Kiesel CS6. Latter can be completely customized and will run from about $1800-$3000 depending on options (exotic wood choices are where most of the expense is). Former was founded by former Gibson luthiers who stayed behind at their factory in Kalamazoo when Gibson moved. FWIW, Gibson does have (and enforces) a design patent on their guitars so these aren't exact replicas, but I dare you to tell the difference without seeing them side-by-side. Carvin's are smaller/thinner though, which many prefer since traditional LPs are tree trunks that often weigh ~10lbs. Heritages are closer to a traditional LP. |
