Are you set on a Gibson, or have you looked at Fenders? The American Vintage series is within your budget, and has some nice guitars in its range. Alas, I was skinter, so had to settle for the Mexican made Classic Player series when I bought my Jazzmaster a few weeks ago.

Had a go on my mates LP custom.
Was heavy as f**k! Had aching shoulders after 10 minutes, and the neck was really fat, but after I got used to it my fingers just flowed, such a beautiful noise!

If I were to get an LP I'd get a studio '09, they're much lighter, plus they have the locking jack input as opposed to the classic input.
Plus they're a thing of beauty!

Thomann is awesome, but wouldn't buy a guitar without playing it first.


Agreed, my last 2 guitars I've got from Denmark street in London.
Get to try them out, spoiled for choice and very competitive prices!
Also a good day out in London!

Yeah apart from lugging it back on the train! :grin: I bought an amp head from Soundcontrol near Denmark Street and that was an arse to get back.


Denmark street rocks, I used to go up there all day just to play guitars and then buy some strings and a pick :grin:

Sold a guy a vintage keyboard on GT, he came over from north London on the train thinking he could carry it back under his arm should have seen his face when he picked it up :laugh:
Bet he dropped it on the way home.....
