That is sweet but I feel my Peerless Sunset gets me 98% of the way there for quite a bit less $$$. Of course it’s 24.75” and has humbuckers, but still—the latter can be changed if needed. It even has a similar bridge and tailpiece.
Seriously, that size factor is great, and too bad Gibson can’t put out something similar at a more down-to-earth price. Though I guess there’s the 235, which lists at $1800.

So we have a very short neck on a full 17" but narrower body. And a regular neck on a small 15" but narrower body. Seems kinda ass-backwards to me.
I just noticed in my own post above that this one has a spruce top.Last edited by Woody Sound; 10-30-2019 at 02:36 PM.

12K for a new one is just insane.

I got this last year. It's awesome but I don't play it nearly as much as it deserves. I'd sell it for significantly less than 14k
