    Picked up a 2019, same exact model about a month ago. Quality and build is superb, the carved top has even more flame than I expected. I wanted an "understated" look, and it's perfect. Flame changes with light. The nitro finish is buffed like new, unlike the VOS models, and the natural dye on the back and neck is rich and deep. Instrument is plek'd, action and intonation are flawless. The CustomBucker pickups are all the rage, you can only get them on a new instrument, and are supposed to be the best PAF repro so far. I'm still trying to decide if I like them, my ears say that the 60s have more natural midrange than 59s, but I can eq it out on my amps. They also seem to be unpotted. I'm really inspired by the sound and feel of the '60 LP, the looks and quality are just icing.

  • WOW!

    So I got the last they had. I will ask for a new one sinsince I paid full "sale" price. It isn't going back. Sound: yes in fact justifies the price. Have to play it to understand that it really is that much better than the lower priced models. I don't know the Techincal build difference because the look of it sold me. Much better build than the non custom. Gorgeous. And then I played it. It's amazing. Advice to all: order nothing. Please go to store. So many look a ton different than online. Add: don't listed to sales pitches on you tube labeled as "review" As non are a review. They want to sell what they got.

  • I would buy this again.

Pleasantly supprised buy the Tall Narrow frets. Has the neck feel of a new v2 model. Great price and it's on sale at times.

    Earlier this month you had this guitar listed at 4499.00 in this guitar sale add and the price went back up. I am was interested in financing for this but closer to the end of the month. Was the lower price for a different promotion?

    More or less it's the same guitar. The electronics may be different, but not by much.
