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?

I remember my "Key Man" black Sunburst with a Floyd order. I wanted .010 to .046 and they told me that it would ship with .009 to .042. Like I never asked... 1992.

Yeah I'm probably going to have to paint something to match it. 😄 I already have a watch.

#MeToo

That's hilarious! The same pups my 91 LP Studio Lite had with the same weight relief, just tuxedo'd instead of Studio'd. Only an extra $5100 for the Custom looks and long scale. What a bargain! Wait... What?! That POS will never be missed! Now they spec that in CS guitars, talk about it like it's desirable, and know dumbass collectors with FOMO will keep them in business... Do yourself a favor and buy a couple nice Hamers instead. This is an early 90s entry-level spec Lester in a tux and fancier case. Not the artistry of a Super Pro.
