Re: Gibson Custom
Thing though with custom shop les pauls is they are better and they know it, that's why they charge so much because they know they can.

That I will totaly agree with. Pick up a "shelf" Paul and then play a VOS or Custom Shop and there is a HUGH differance even a beginner can tell. And it's not just better parts or tops. The action,intenation,neck shapes,ect. And I do believe it is to push the buyer towards the better,more exspensive lines which is sad. Still waiting on my 58 VOS Goldtop. Come on Gibson,just give me one,lmfao!

Re: Gibson Custom
It's $20,000 because of the name, plain and simple. I'm on the "I wish I could call $7,000 affordable" boat, but I don't hate Gibson for their prices. When demand shifts warrant a price shift south it'll happen, but for now Gibson is making money off their prices somehow.
If $7,000 is affordable then take that money to a luthier who will build you a guitar you can be buried with. Oh, and have them put a Brazilian board on it, those things sure are purty...

Re: Gibson Custom
It's $14,000 for signature and aged. HAHA, they left the metal parts to be aged by the owner
