the cost of the GIBSON BURSTBUCKERS ...and the pots and caps and "custom" case
this (at retail) isnt a "bad" price

Joe Bonamassa "Lazarus" 1959 Les Paul Standard | Epiphone

When blues-rock guitar legend Joe Bonamassa found "Lazarus," a rare 1959 Gibson Les Paul™ Standard, it was in poor condition and had been refinished red. Like the Biblical Lazarus, Joe's original guitar was brought back to life. Once it was restored, its stunningly figured top was revealed. Now...

It's not a bad axe for $900 considering a Gibson R9 is $5K-7K.
It's like we wonder how there can be a $4000+ difference between the 2.
What's the Gibson got that the Epi doesn't?
Gibson has:
chipped up paint, buckle rash, rusted screws, and scratches. (they call this "vintage original spec."), VOS.

As much as I would love an R9, I question why I would pay $5K for a beat up rusted guitar?

I like to keep my guitars looking new...ask @Sp8ctre who has a 1987 Squire that I gigged with for nearly 30 years. It's never been dropped and the back was always taped off.

My $3,000 Gibson Les Paul (strapped on) and my $169.00 Slash/AFD Replica in the background at our February27th NASCARshowat FontanaSpeedway. Borh are treated equally well.



Originally, I built the Slash/AFD as a way to have a 59-esque Les Paul (with all premium hardware) for bar playing without the huge pricetage of a R9, but it turned out to be such a great guitar that I started using it on a regular basis.

The Slash/AFD is the guitar everyone wants to play or take a photo with...
