Says who, you? Tried that one or a few more originals?
*Some* original 50s LPs are THE holy grail. And they DO sound different. Probably in a non replicable way. And I did try.

It's a collector's piece. There's nothing to rebel about this price. Accept it and rest in piece. It's not for us common mortals alright, but why contesting? It's really the law of supply and demand.

These were fine instruments made back then. Now being replicated with great results. But if you really think that "that sound can be replicated by a regular guitar purchased now" you know not what you're talking about. And know little or nothing about the history of rock and roll which a few guitars like the one up above, concurred into shaping up.

Peace.
