LP Lovers...
« on: July 08, 2008, 12:00:43 AM »
This just deserves its own thread, pricey, but the perfect match of burst, relic, plain grain, and flame


Gary Rossington LP
Real Braz 'board and everything
John Sykes replaced his 1959 LP with one of these for the road, man I want one

Very nice, but I saw number 13 for sale not long ago for £4500.  I think his price is a bit optimistic!

I'd rather have this for £1999, which also has a braz board if you're after that kind of thing  :wink:

Very pretty and all... actually very VERY pretty...

But £9999.00 starting bid?

Is that serious/sensible, guys?
For replica made in 2003?
There's some crazy people out there...
(Or am just a tight-fisted old git?!)

Knock off two and it's mine. I dunno, i love the les paul shape and tone, but i hate bursts and flames. Gimme a solid colour or a stain showing the grain and i'm happy. none of this fancy stuff please! i'm so boring.

They are so much nicer than the LP and other PRS in this thread. Not as keen on the Mccarty shape though, but the 'boring' mira is lovely.

The McCarty shape, to me, is perfect.  It feels nice and chunky like an LP, so you can sling it low-ish, but you have great top-fret access.  The 22 fret neck feels more natural to me than the 24 of the Mira, although I love both.

Yep, she is.  Until I pre-ordered two new Ibanez reissues and I'm waiting for PRS to bring out a Mira Korina.....

I know this is a silly thing to say but how many superstrats do you need...and how many guitars all in all do you own now?
