'Extra Special' is all it takes for some mug to pay over the odds for it.

Nice looking guitar. I actually prefer these simpler slab body Les Paul models with P90s to the maple topped guitars with humbuckers. I can’t really understand why it’s such a stupidly high price though.

Looks like they’ve done a nice job with that. If I’m being picky, as they’re claiming its accurate,  a slim neck ‘60 should have reflector knobs.  Pricey though.

My favourite looking guitar ever ............. but the money!

They have slim necks, so they’re extra-unspecial imho.

I don't like slim necks, but I have one of these Specials (from the days when they were cheaper) and as slim necks go, it's quite a nice one.  It's not really thin, it has a bit of shoulder and it kind of suits the guitar.

Bit ironic considering these were more or less entry level guitars when they first came out.

Is this custom shop or USA? :-o

They do now make an entry level one of these too ;-)
