RhysP Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Bargain! If it wasn't such a bloody horrible finish I'd have already bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I have no need of a LP, but I did wonder how much it would cost to have binding put on it. Tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Looks like they can't shift those 2015 models for love nor money tho. £500 off an £800 guitar? That's practically giving it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Looks like a terrific bargain for somebody. One thing I would say though is that I found the LP quite an odd guitar to live with - fabulous sound of course, but you couldn't sit down with it on your lap, upper fret access was a joke and (mine at least was) pretty heavy to have on your shoulder for an hour at a time. Mine was an '80s Custom that I bought from a guy in the States. It smelled like somebody had been sick on it (which didn't help me warm to it's charms - not the guitar's fault I know, but all the same...). I couldn't get on with it and sold it on at a very small profit after about 6 months. Edited December 24, 2015 by leftybassman392 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Well i got one, and I have to say it's fantastic! My friend has a custom, costing more than 3x as much and he was seething when I showed it to him and told him how much it was! Leftybassman392 I think your comments are probably about Les Paul's in general. They are not for everyone that's true. I've always thought LPs were good for power chords and screaming solos, but not much else. I have to say though, this one with the P-90s seems a bit more versatile. I also like the stripped back look - but I think regular LPs are a bit bling! The magic tuning thingy on these takes a bit of getting used to (the E A D side works backwards if you tune manually for a start). It takes a couple of strums to get them all in tune, but it's still faster than doing it by hand. The lovely chap on the phone told me they were getting some more of these in January, so if you're tempted, keep an eye on the site, they are £200 more everywhere else!

GarethFlatlands Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I loved my Les Paul, if they weren't so fragile and I wasn't so scared of taking it out the case (the headstock had been broken twice before) I'd still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
