I love it, intonation is close to perfect, the sweetest chunky neck ever, resonant as hell and a tone to die for. Unplayable? Quite the contrary…

A beautiful guitar for sure but this model is unplayable.
The trapeze setup is totally impractical and the action/intonation is almost impossible to get right, that’s why they replaced it almost immediately with the next model. If you want the best Goldtop around then buy a 1956 Goldtop.

I have a 1999 Gibson Les Paul Standard in mint condition. I only paid $1800 for it. It has the burst bucker pick ups and sounds incredible. I love it;however, I paid way too much for it. It’s just a chunk of wood people c’mon……

It’s not be the famous Signature Series guitar that Jimmy Page has that he got from Joe Walsh who traded it for a bag of dope from some guy who got the guitar in a pawn shop window because some guy could not afford to pay his rent. But it is just as good as any Les Paul out there. I plan to get really good and then let Gibson replicate it and then sell copies for $26,986.49. But hey it will have Grover tuners on it. That should make it worth $30,000.00 alone. Oh I can sell you a set of Grovers in mint condition for $29,542.36. What an investment. THese tuners were made on the continent at the same time Paul McCartney was taking a crap in his jet flying overhead! Very Valuable and Very Rare! A must have for any serious musician.

I don’t think you’ll find any Les Paul out of the Custom Shop for under $2999 new.

I love that colour scheme and that tailpiece is aswome. But yeah it’s a hefty price even for a Les P.

Beautiful guitar, but man that is a hefty price tag. I’d be afraid to play it. I love guitars and I don’t necessarily abuse them, but I do like something in my hands that I’m not afraid to man-handle.

I am only interested if it is made from 100% old growth lemur wood.

Only $3450 @ MF….but not a VOS. Still, it should be a collectors’ piece. Those P90s definitely have a unique tone.
