That is the question I would like your advice on, although I will warn, my mind is 99.9% made up, I want it!

THe low down is that it's a Gibson Historic Custom Shop model, semi hollow. Resonates like crazy and although it needs a decent setup, you can just tell that this is a good LP.

However, the colour is unusual, although that is one of the attractions. That and something I can put a set of Mules in!

Personally I'd buy that Feline one from another LP thread.

Not my cup of tea at all.  Unless you're a blinging Justin Hawkins-a-like I wouldn't buy it...

Probably way too expensive and I don't like the color combo.

Better get a Gretsch Jet.

It has a certain something I like. I might have it repainted later, and possibly change the pickguard, but I would buy it as long as the price is right for it.

Thats a Fender colour IMO, not sure it works on a Gibson. I saw a cool custom JEM in seafoam green that was awesome 8)
