Nice. I am a long time advocate of the Forte 3D type cabinets, which the lower portion clearly replicates. Will the top half have side reflecting panels inside as well? Or are those cutouts for inset handles? On some I have built, I had the top semi-open, with an oval cutout on the back, sorta Fuchs/Dumblish style and I liked that combination. Sounds so much bigger than a typical 2 x 12. You might prefer a closed back top. FWIW as to speakers, my favorite in the 3D style is the Alnico Cream, but I have yet to be real disappointed in any speaker I wired in it. And such as the CL80 (or Mesa MC 90) work well on the semi-open back. But that is for my tone taste.

Ah, I don't get around enough...😇

Love that guitar 😃👌

The guitar is sold Comedian Leslie jones did a House of Dragon satire on Instagram when Corlys’ wife, dragon rider/ warrior Raynyss lost her life in a battle with the evil Aemon Targaryen. ‘‘Twas hilarious

Huh?

She gone Corlys

You're making my point for me. The 1st link is a regular LPC for $5,500. A LPC with a longer scale - a special model - priced only $500 more makes sense. The 2nd link is a "'70's style" model for $4,000. Not a bad price for a new LPC, but that's if you want one that reminds you of Norlin era Les Pauls. Some do, some don't, but they're not for everyone. We might see these long scale LPCs down the road at a discount, but for now I think they're priced right.

I took care of this issue by getting a 25.5" Shishkov DC years ago (fuck, I think the order was placed over 10 years ago 😳). A true visionary I am.

Now that's a sensitive headstock!

Was the front strap button originally on the back of the neck where it meets the body? is there a hole there where there used to be a strap button? Be careful not too offend the headstock, those can crack with even a sideways glance it seems: My ss1 and ss2 both have headstock crack repairs.

Sweetwater has Les Paul Customs for less than $5999. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCEBGH1E--gibson-custom-les-paul-custom-ebony-with-ebony-fingerboard https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCU700EBGH--gibson-70s-les-paul-custom-electric-guitar-ebony

What about a 25,00 scale? A bit on the heavy side.... Siggi Braun custom shop order from 2007 Ok, more of a Single Cut PRS....

Worth exactly what you paid for it.

Worth the price of admission right there.

Ditto!

That's a stupid crazy low price for that guitar. I'd never sell mine for that.

This is what I was thinking. $6,000 is a lot of money (and a lot more than someone my age would consider palatable), but that seems like the price these days.

They made Les Paul baritones in the Studio trim. Those were 28" scale.

But it's not any higher than a normal "New" Les Paul custom

I believe Gibson did a run of LP Studios as well in the 2000 teens with a long scale length as well.

For someone who cannot transition well from one scale length to another the long scale Les Paul might work for them. The higher price for this guitar makes it feel like more of a gimmick than a useful option.

To be fair, the 490/498 were also spec on early 90s LP Customs.

Still available, in France until end of August

Looks cool! Do the side ports shoot flames out too?
