I'd toss in another 500 bone and get the Classic. At $2000 with the specs it has it is by far the best value Gibson has. I'm not much of a fan of the '61 pups, but maybe they sound better in a Les than an SG.
 
Looking at it as for what it is, a well made instrument to play.
I don't think it looks that bad.

It's a real maple cap, you can see it on the orange one, in the edge view.

But top binding would really have made a striking difference.
As for the price? It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Wait a couple of years & they'll blow out all the unsold stock for $699...:celebrate:

It reminds me of the edgeburst I did on the Harmony archtop.
That was plain maple as well.

The binding just sets it off.

That looks good on the acoustic, to me not so much on the Gibbie.
