the one in question is right down the bottom of the page. i'd give them a ring rather than email if you have any questions.

why does it have to be American? I dont think there are many LP copies made by USA companies (due to copyrights on the shape!).

You would be stupid not to :P (email and see if they do a non vintage White one)

Like tewboss says, Tokai do an alpine white custom, as do most of the other Japanese manufacturer's, like Greco, Burny, Fernandes, Edwards, Orville etc.

Have a search on eBay.

I'd also say that it was the guitar I was planning to buy before I decided on a Gordon Smith. Tokai's are really well made and a damn site cheaper than the equivalent Gibson.

I like that Edwards, I have one and it is a great guitar, I have heard good things about all of the other Japanese makes too, just getting your hands on them can be a little tricky, but they still get my vote...
