    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.
