I just looked up the price though ... gulp!
I've yet to read a bad word about any Feline guitar.
Compare the price to a Gibson Custom Shop & I know which I'd rather drop £4k on.
I've tried loads - a Huber, Knaggs, Feline etc and they are all brilliant. They are very much modern takes on the single cut design and whilst their intonation is superior, the build is superior and the sound is more even across the strings, they just don't sound like a Gibson Les Paul.
Check out Peach Guitars latest video on Singlecuts - This I think proves my point. The '59 to me is by far the best sounding. I will say that the closest I've found is a Knaggs Kenai.
There's no right or wrong just opinions and perspectives, i don't like a steep neck angle with a bridge stuck right up in the air also i make sure my traditional truss rod channel is just deep enough no more, it's probably one reason why gibson necks break so easily because it's cut too deep which makes it weak to start with
Also the tones are subjective as most peoples opinions are probably different to mine, the vintage stuff that I've played always sounds jangly and lively almost fat tele like, they are bright with no mud whatsoever

I would tend to say that there are many Gibson Les Pauls out there that 'don't sound like Gibson Les Pauls either ... at least to some players expectations.

With a maple neck. They don’t break even if you drop them directly onto the back of the head... I have tested it .
They have the slight disadvantages of usually weighing about half a ton, most have a rather ugly sharper cutaway horn shape and flatter top, and you need the Custom because they made the headstock on all of them the same large size which only looks right with the binding...
But they are also some of the ones that don’t sound exactly like a lot of people expect a Les Paul to, as TheGuitarWeasel said - although for me they're some of the very best.

(Just out of curiosity... plenty of mahogany ones don’t break either.)
