If I had unlimited budget for a guitar, a striking flame top would be the only cheesy option I'd take.
Something like this:



The abalone binding and gold-in-everything can stay off my dream guitar, alongside gold watches and customized Bentleys:

Now that PRS top is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! Oh my!! The figuring and the color...

For the record, I was in NO way implying that the Micheal Kelly I posted was in the same league as the Gibson. Was merely showing that A) you can get similar looks and probably close to the playability for $11.5 K less. And B) the inlay on the Gibby is a bit much, IMO.

I can appreciate the craftsmanship but it's not something I would ever like to own at any price, to play or to display. I would never spend 12 g's on any guitar just on general principle unless someone was unknowingly sitting on a 59' Les Paul and didn't know what they had......at which point I would buy it and flip it.

I'd pay 12k (if I had it) on an L5, but not a Les Paul. I like the look of the expensive 'The Les Paul' of the late 70s rather than this bedazzled mess.

I would hit it. If I was a Gibson artist and got this in the mail from them ​I would die.

Seems a bit extreme. I'd just puke and call it quits.

You have to appreciate the level of luxury man. That's what I get from the photos.

I LOVE the quilt and the wooden rings... gorgeous! The inlay is wonderfully done, but it's a little big for my tastes (and I'm a sucker for fancy inlays). Also not crazy about the tuning keys... just don't really like that shape on anything. Keystones, kidney beans, etc. in gold or pearl would have been a better choice.

I'd never pay $12,000 for it, but if someone gave it to me I'd play the $#!+ out of it!
