I'll settle for a draw in the price battle Dave. :)

In case anyone's interested, £285 was what I paid!

Would be very expensive to send it to Brazil, probably... you can take it... :D

If thats a MIJ then it's a very good price, but I suspect it's a korean build, which is still good (and a good price), but not quite as good as a Japanese build.

EDIT: Nice catch Sambo!

It's a Chinese one, but still probably not bad for the money!

You're right of course, Sam, and I didn't mean I would have tried to gazump you on the Signature!

But I'm forever buying things and finding someone else has got the same thing much cheaper.

Yeah I guess I got lucky this time! Some people have a knack for finding great deals. Ask Nick- that man is a some kind of human bargain-magnet. :?

sambo: bargain of bargains mate!

Quote from: Twinfan

Mine is on a par tonally with my Gibson LP Standard, and in some ways I prefer it as it has a slimmer neck. The whole guitar just feels really comfortable.

I thought I had a bargain at £375, but Sam has me beat. I guess mine has upgraded pups though, so maybe I'm still ahead ;)

sorry twinfan - i think some people might have missed that picture of the flame on your les paul.

i think you should post it a few more times just to be absolutely sure ;) ;)

:lol:

Any excuse, huh? It's my prettiest guitar. Sorry :oops:

sambo · « **Reply #28 on:** February 13, 2008, 02:17:02 PM »

^:lol:

Cheers gwem!

Only problem now is, after some more playing, I'm running out of reasons to keep the Burny... hmm.

Oh and I looked in the pickup cavity- (should've taken a photo, doh!) and (not that I know what a veneer top looks like) I THINK I can see what I imagine is the veneer.

But also, a long tenon? What exactly defines a long tenon? :? :oops:

Twinfan · « **Reply #29 on:** February 13, 2008, 02:25:23 PM »

They're long tenon Sam. In the base of the neck pickup cavity you can see the neck joint.....
