Les Paul Replica

Where can I find somebody that can make me one for a reasonable price, 2 to 5k? I live in Chicago, Illinois. All the replica makers I hear about are in California.

Re: Les Paul Replica

Can anyone say Bon Jovi

Les Paul custom guitar made by luthier C. Eric Schulte

This is a Les Paul Custom that was custom made for me, by the legendary Pennsylvania luthier, C. Eric Schulte. It is in very close to "like new" condition, since I used it more for recording, and not so much on gigs. This guitar is so beautiful, it deserves to be displayed like a work of art. But, man does it play well and sound great. Schulte was famous for his Les Pauls, and this was his 100th, completed at the turn of the millenium. On the headstock, is a special chrome plaque, with an engraved commemoration that reads: "Eric Schulte's 100th Les Paul Handcrafted for Tony Juliano (yours truly) December, 2000". Plus, there is an Abalone inlay at the top of the headstock, giving this guitar its special name: "Deluxe 100" Eric had been saving this piece of quilted maple for years. He planned to use it for a guitar he had intended to make for himself. But, then he realized he was never going to get around to it, so he used it for my guitar. Eric thought it was the prettiest piece he had ever seen. The serial number "000223", plus the words "Schulte Custom" appear on the reverse top of the headstock. Black TKL hardshell Les Paul case, with plush lining, is included (also like new).

HIGHLIGHTS & FEATURES

Lindsay Fralin humbucking pickups, custom-wound.

Mahoghany body, with carved internal sound chambers for maximum sustain.

Quilted Maple top.

Mahoghany neck.

Vintage looking, cream-colored plastic, used for: body, neck and headstock binding trim; pick guard; volume & tone knobs; toggle switch plate; and pick-up trim encasements.

Chrome hardware.

Re: Les Paul Replica

Can anyone PM me names of Les Paul replica makers, would love to get in touch with one.

And no...I'm not a Gibson lawyer :P

Henry wouldn't want to know a guy who loves Orville by Gibsons more than overpriced Gibson guitars hehe
