[Deep Eddy]

While I love Les Pauls, I have never been a fan of the goldtop finish - even the mist version of it. $4K is too much for me.

 

[mosiddiqi]

Hot!

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

About as nice as a Paul can get...hot!

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Looks nice! I would probably get a normal gold top though.

 

[Psychotronic]

Not a fan of the color, but I'd play it.

 

[Muppet]

I'd play it, but I'd never buy it at that silly price. Even the LP Customs, which I've been gassing for big-time, wouldn't get me to pay that much. Gibson needs to come to their senses. I'm a huge Gibby fan, and own several, but there are limits to what they should be pricing things at. $4100 is just in bad taste. Gorgeous axe, though. This is the kind of thing that has me tuning in to the GPOTD every morning.

 

[Tiltsta]

Really hot, but way too expensive.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Holy fuckballs that's hot.

 

[Jeremy]

Christ, that's maybe the best looking LP I've ever seen.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Nice, but a bit more than I can afford.

 

[Stratguy]

I'm with Blancharded on this. I'd definitely play it, but I'd rather have a 60's neck than a 50's neck, and I like a see through finish.

DAT PRICE

oh, and rosewood fretboard = fail

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Actually, I don't care for the top or the price.

 

[dmn23]

Find me a used one at ~$2,500 or so and I'd probably be all over it.

 

[Mark Wein]

holy fuck thats expensive.

 

[CBHScott]

Beautiful and 'spensive.

 

[Modern Saint]

I would.....

But with that price, I wouldn't.....

 

[bubkusjones]

I'd take the $500 Epiphone version.

 

[Chad]

hot, but I don't like the 59 necks.
