Yamaha LS6 convert

I wonder if we will ever see a Gibbon Les Paul, or if AI will be harnessed before manufacture and assembly is turned over to trained monkeys?

They could keep pushing for the hybrid "William Gibson" Les Paul, made by machine-monkey hybrids.

Further to my previous thread about reasonably priced sub  £500 parlour guitars, I tried one of these in the Yamaha shop and had to have it on the spot, it was so good I was worried it might be a fluke.

OK it is a bit to big to be an actual parlour and it was £600. But at the risk of sounding money obsessed, it feels and sounds like a > £1000 instrument

Having tried many boutique instruments like Santa Cruz, Custom Martins etc , I think you would need to posess Claptonesque levels of discernment to be overly concerned with the tonal differences between those and the L S6. 

Big +1 & you are preaching to the converted sir!  I was lucky enough to pick up a pre-owned but absolute minter LS6 ARE with a hard case for £300 in Nov 21. Just a lovely, lovely guitar that looks, plays & sounds really nice.

£300 for a mint LS6? You must tell us where you do your most regular supermarket shop.

Ebay, really nice guy, excellent comms. But my memory wasn't quite right as with the new hard case it was £329 plus £25 delivery so total was £354, 2 Nov 2021.

£350 still seems a reasonable price, for something that effectively retails at £600. What supermarket do you use?
