Which LP would you choose

Very tempted by the orville, prices are equivalent about £1.250 for each.

The Classic looks well, classic, the Orville has a weird, 70s Kay catalogue guitar sunburst.

Shallow I know, but for me a copy has to be fantastic to beat the real thing, buying that would be like spending AVRI moneyon a Tokai Tele. Probably a good guitar, but a bit "ho-hum" at the end of the day.

Funny, I find the sunburst on the Orville sexier that the classic's plaintop.

i would pay AVRI money for a (high end) vintage tokai breezysound all day long. the problem is tht people have started flogging lower-end MIJ guitars at what I would consider high prices, so the average punter doesn't recognise that the real value for money aspect comes from buying the top spec'ed models straight out of japan.

there's not much between them... surely you could get a more modern Gibson LP traditional for £50 more though?

They are truly disgusting!

Just looking at them, the Classic looks far better to me, however as Monoamine said earlier, a few quid more could get you a new one, or even a few quid less than second hand if you want if you want a new Sig T or Trad Pro.

I prefer the plain top.
