Is that a relic? Looks pretty beaten up to me, I wouldn't pay that much for damaged goods.

I'm with you Hunter, it do look mighty fine (looks like it ought to be playing "Just Got Paid", "Heard it on the X", etc)

But... way too much for me to even get GAS over :lol:

Is it me, or do all LPs look the same? Okay, the odd different colour here, the strange scratchplate occasionally, but really, what could possibly make this one worth 8k where you can get some perfectly great LPs for a fraction of that cost!?

It's a strange world we live in!

(PS I'm not saying LPs don't look good, btw)

i sometimes think the only gibsons worth the money are a contemporary faded series or a nice vintage model...

Too much money, and I bet it's not actually that toneful.  Gibson just don't choose the best wood for the best guitars like they should do.  Having to play several £3500 '59 reissues to find a 'good one' is totally unacceptable to me.  I would imagine this is purely a collector model based on the name/relic-ing.

eight grand for an LP? daylight robbery, better off buying 4 different LP Standards and chucking in different BKPs...1 for MM, 1 for PG Blues, 1 for Mules, and 1 for CS.

The only problem with that plan is it almost makes me want to spend 8k!
