they are awesome guitars but I can't see how anyone can pay 2g's for em unless they got it growing on trees............ better yet, les paul's growing on trees.

My Gibson Les Paul was 1g, sounds great, NEVER goes out of tune, plays amazingly well.

Worth every penny, and many more than I payed. Great, great buy.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.
