Will the vintage les paul market ever fall?
Thats right in eastern europe and south america there is still a little bit hop for guitar playing but speaking of vintage marked and prices, those countries income will propably never reach western standards. Most folks would have to work two lifes to afford a vintage Gibson or Fender.- d1m1

Will the vintage les paul market ever fall?
How many under 15 yo play guitar today and how many under 15 yo played guitar 30-40 years ago? Or even listen to rock, blues etc? The answere will give you a picture of futures market... I guess there will be more e.g. 50ies LP Juniors out there, than guitar players (if i´m not mistaken...- d1m1

How much is “just in our heads” ?
The nylon bushings as Eric mentioned and maybe something with the setup of the guitar (the neck moves while changing strings; different string tension and high, affect tone): And of course the new strings sound better as well.- d1m1

quality vs quantity
I would say quantity of quality :thumb: but to get back to your question, i would prefer quality. And for 10K i would find a 50ies LP Standard for restoration/conversion or get you a 50ies LP Special and you would be in a different world. It´s like 5 Hyundai or one Porsche? What else could you...- d1m1
