Re: Gibson Custom Substitutes?

Do you think that this is all Korina and not just laminate?

Those Edwards look nice, but word from owners of them on the ESP forums is that they're quality is about equal to that of Ltd. There were two recently on ebay and both were priced in the $700 range with $120 shipping from Japan (they are not imported to the states, are hard to find, and expensive for what you're getting).

If you want dead-on looks, then Korean made Tokais imported to music stores in Canada are nice and have the correct body and headstock shape, but again you'll be paying 2-3 times the price of the Agile.

That's interesting, Tattooed.
I haven't been over to the ESP forum for quite awhile.
Most people I've talked to on other forums have really been
praising the Edwards line.
Sure it was the Edwards line?
ESP also has that Grass-Roots line as well.
I believe those are Korean made like the LTDs.
Just curious.

I actually like Jay Turser Les Pauls, at least the one I used to have. They're fun and nice to look at. They don't stay in tune worth ****, but maybe replacing the tuners would help with that.
