Not looking to buy another Les Paul anytime soon, but stumbled upon this recently.
Its for sale on a site here in the UK for £550 ($865 approx.) - I must add the seller is NOT selling this as a genuine Gibson, but as a custom made replica.
It was bought from its original owner who had it custom built 3 years ago at 'New Yorkers Custom Shop Guitars', at a cost of $2,340.
I Googled the above shop and found nothing except an old post from a Strat forum, where a member was thinking of buying a replica Gibson 335 from E-Bay - a guitar, too built at the very same shop, and being sold by the same person selling the Marc Bolan Les Paul - Coincidence?
Would a custom Luthier be willing to build a guitar such as this and put Gibsons name on the headstock? And even used, surely a one off replica would fetch more than £550?
