Could Gibson compete with Salman replicas? Doubtful. Tiny as it is, that market is served. Personally I'd go with a Salman, for a third of the cost - they look great + Metheny loves them , or a Japanese alternative, or a used Gibson.

I was not thinking about the 300, but rather this one:
New Loar LH-700-VS
compared to
2005 Gibson Custom Shop 1934 L-5 Reissue
The second one costs 3X what the first one costs.
This has little bearing on the question, but years ago I owned the real '34 L5 that Gibson used as a pattern for the RI.

Add the discontinued ES175 to the list. Out of production 4 years now.
