Hey Boys this probably been discussed in days past but nice to bring up again from a Newby...Been on the Fender and Gibson websites getting finish ideas etc...and it occurred to me are they for real on the prices the charge...$1500 for an entry level Telecaster and $3000 grand for Flame Top base model Les Paul....I have seen guitars on this forum in the last 2 weeks that are being built on shoe strings.....My favorite on the Gibson site is their Custom Models, $6000 plus, one of their selling points is HAND SANDED, I mean is there any other way for a $6000 guitar....
