^are you sure you wouldn't rather have the ESP model? only an extra £2000, and you get the joy of an emg HZ as well... :roll:

hehe £2k extra plus a huge waiting time...

Laiho uses the HZ pickups, hence his poorish live sound :x

I'd be into getting one of those Burnys second hand! How much would you charge me for a black one with an ebony fret board? :P

This ones cheaper and looks as good at 94,000 yen. At £2000 for the other one you could get a Gibson LP Custom. How much would you charge for a LP of these specs Bob?

Johnny, I'm assuming this question is aimed at me.

I don't really like making copies although from time to time I do. A LP replica of similar spec would cost around £1800 from me.
Frankly I really find it hard to understand why, when there are so many really cool custom guitars out there, that copies have the allure that they obviously do. I guess if I thought differently I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now.

This was made by Dan McPherson a luthier friend of mine. If you're looking for a Les Paul Look-a-like but with some individuality, this is what you call quality.

J M, What did you think of the DM guitar I linked in my last post?
