I have a bit of a neurosis there, lol. Almost all lower priced Archtops (models with non-floater PU, so in the Gibson ES "world" of models) usually come with maple necks.
Anyone played the SAINT-LOUIS and maybe even compared it to a ES125?

All of these authorized replicas are American made and hand carved.

So 5K used is a relative bargain, but the value is probably impaired by the perception that it's a Korean-made knock-off.

If I were to consider one it would be the Heritage ghost built New Yorkers. I would like to find one.
I did buy a Vestex NY 20 years ago 18in. It far exceeds even handmade carved top guitars. This has the solid form press shape top even Gibson has done this.
My Vestex is amazing one of the best necks of any guitar I have played. Reminds me of my Campellone neck. It has a strong acoustic sound louder and better than many carved top guitars I have played. It is nothing like I see being made now, far superior.
Does it sound like my 1949 New Yorker?........not a chance.....The 49 has a dearmond 1100 which also means it sounds better amplified.
