Re: Orville Les Pauls...
I've actually only played an Orville once, and I was impressed. I trust Wattage and others greatly, so if they say the quality is top notch, I would agree. I know I sound like a broken record, but if you're considering spending in excess of $600 on an LP copy, check eBay for used Heritage guitars. It's as close as you can get to Gibson Custom Shop quality, and real 59' lp specs, for a fraction of the cost. I see superb used Heritages going on the bay all the time for under $900. It also helps keep money in the US. We all really need to do all of that we can. Hell, even I bought an American car, which I had sworn for years that I would not do.
Sorry to pontificate. Orville makes some great LP copies.
