You'd have to have big kahuna's to put one of those on at a $1

Of course, I don't even have a Les Paul but I'd love to see everybody falling over themselves trying to get a deal on it. LOL

LOL. Yes. I'm almost tempted to do it. But I won't.

I’d be interested to know just how many people know about the Gil Yaron’s, Bartlett’s etc. By many accounts they’re better than the real thing, they can certainly relic a guitar 1000 x more realistically than the Gibson Custom Shop. Have you seen their latest offering? It’s just ridiculous (and hideous). What makes it even worse is when you see the guitar they’ve based it off, it’s so badly done it’s almost laughable.

2019 Gibson Custom Shop / Original 1955 Gibson LP 'Snatch':

Don't think I need to point out which one's which

Boring shit, locking tuners and strap locks, and maybe a handwired AC4 for no practical reason...

Got the strap locks on the way, the rest is a bit overkill, in the meantime trying to hunt down a good Fender Japan TL52-SPL the Keith Richards Micawber replica!

What's the difference between 'this' and the one you are selling?

It seems a rather embarrassed lemon.
