Just out of curiosity' date=' how much would it cost to have a LP custom-made by Gibson???

or any other capable custom shops?[/quote']

 

I saw a thread on the MyLesPaul Forum where a lovely bloke called treddingjr built a replica from scratch and spent $2200 on materials alone. Factor in paying for expert luthiary and you wouldn't get much change short of $8000 I'd guess, if you were lucky.

 

Have alook at Martyn Booth's site www.martynboothguitars.co.uk/ and you'll see what sort of prices to pay for guitars that are similar in construction to Lesters.

 

I don't think Gibson make one-off custom guitars. I think you have to order a run of 50 for them to consider making a model to your specs. Alternativley, you could wait until you get hyper-famous and they'll happily make you a signature guitar!!

ibis,

thanks for the reply. I want a LP Std. with Macassar top and ebony FB.

That would be my dream guitar. It would be the coolest looking LP ever! =P~

I guess I'll have to save up some cash to have a luthier build a replica LP...

as soon as my guitar playing ability deserves a $10000 guitar. The way I play now,

I don't think it will ever happen, though =P~
