Vintage guitars are not too big over here in the US and Canada. I found 1 dealer that sold them locally and it takes forever to order a specific guitar. I found a Vintage Icon Gold Top there and purchased it. It is a P90 guitar and is excellent quality with Wilkinson hardware and pickups. As with many of the far east guitars it needed a fret level. That cost 100, but the guitar is now one of the nicest playing guitars I own. Good weight to it and a really nice neck. The P90s are a little noisey but you can dial that out in the middle position on the toggle. Over all a pretty nice guitar. If you have a selection I would check them over for uneven frets. I play with a really low action, and I had to have my Epi G400 levelled as well.
Their aged/relic guitars are really well done for a decent price. Overall they are great guitars for the money.
Check out their ICON series. Really cool.

Hi!
I´m gonna get myself the Les Paul Paradise (Slash signature) in a couple of weeks,
when I gey my paycheck... ;)

Awesome built guitars I think. I have my strings set pretty low,
more then a regular set Telecaster.

Cheers

I hadn't seen that one yet. It looks like a killer axe. They seem to do a really good job with their "signature" guitars.
I haven't been to that dealer lately, to see what they have in stock. I was looking to pick up one of the "Lemon Drop" guitars but they wanted almost as much as a used Gibson Studio so I passed. My GT was 419 Can.

I like that. The neck pickup sounds awesome and it also has a 22 fret neck. Does it have a tummy bevel on the back of the body? That is my list of requirements for the perfect Tele.

Like a Strat in the back. The beveled cutaway where your body touches the guitar. Teles and LPs are are straight in the back.

Sweet looking and sounding axe, and nice tasteful playing, too!
