Dayum!!!!!!!!
Would be nice. Don't know the venue but met all the band in Houston and really nice guys, and KICK ASS live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Signature - Les Paul

Bout same, bit lighter (not much) but then my LP is full Ebony and might make difference.

Apart from that, tbh, the Gibson (IMO) is not worth 2.5x price of these.

Well, debating and google'ing over.  Got one here.

Bloody hell, that was quick!  You don't mess about.

Very nice.  Hard to tell from the photos, but is it a slightly different shape from an LP?  Bit more PRS-like at the widest part of the body, slightly longer horn?
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

The horn is very slightly different.
Just come from mates house who has a 80's Standard and a Historic Reissue.
The horn is the only thing thats slightly different, bit fatter/shorter, hard to tell, just bit different.
Suprisingly the bridge is modelled after the Historic Reissue and not the standard.
He is a wee bitty better than me (25+ years exp. and 7+ albums etc.) and he reckons he would be hard to tell from playing it that it's not real thing. He played cr@p outta it and gave thumbs up, so cool :)

Hi all.

These Signature Les Paul guitars have been specifically made to fit a niche in the guitar market. If you can't afford a genuine Gibson, or don't want to go down to the lesser, Epiphone Korean made Les Paul, then this is where Signature guitars come in.
They are made in Japan, from a world class manufacturer, who has decades of experience making top-end, high profile guitars of a very similar style.
This Signature Les Paul has all the features of a top-end Gibson, with an arched top, double humbuckers and tun-o-matic bridge. One of the most significant features of these guitars are the pickups, which are truly stunning. They have a complete frequency range, and have solid bottom end with full, mid and high-end clarity. Hearing really is believing with this guitar.
You will never see the brand Signature advertised, or find a web site, as this guitar was built exclusively for the British market on a strictly limited run, with previously agreed, word of mouth sales only.
If you understand a bit about guitars you will know that the country of original manufacture is crucial to the quality of the end product, and because of that you will have to pay a premium to get that quality.
These are JAPANESE instruments, so the quality is only matched by American guitars, in the world market.
We have available Standard models in Honeyburst, Cherryburst and a very nice Worn Cherry with a matt finish, and Custom models in Ebony and White.

If you want to see more, then have a look at our website, where we have more pics (the first pic on this post is from our site)  http://www.guitarbitz.com/602.htm

and let me know what you think

Be really interested in what you think - All this MIJ Les Paul stuff has had a final effect on me (oh err!) and I have been saving my pennies and am now more or less at purchasing point, thinking either a signature, or current favourite is an Edwards lemon drop relic. :)

It's a fantastic guitar, as good as a 'good' Gibson no question.  They're seriously underpriced and undervalued.  Check out my thread:
