    Before I clicked, I knew the completely meaningless term “lawsuit” would be prominent.

    To be fair, it does at least have a little more basis in fact for this one, since it has the open-book headstock top, which is what (and the only thing) Gibson threatened to sue about.

    Still a stupid price for a £250 guitar though. And no, they do not sound 90% as good as even a 70s J200. I owned one (Hondo branded, same guitar really) and it was OK. Sold it... for £250.

    And negative points for "For your consideration", "She", "The lady" etc. Just. Fuck. Off.

    Yep, completely stupid money, although I have heard one or two Antoria/Ibanez J200's that did indeed sound very good and some Gibson's that were just 'meh'  ;)
    I'm far more interested in another of the sellers guitars, apart from it also being how fu**ing much!!!

    Yep the price for this one is way over the top. I'd never pay that, but then their are those that sometimes do! Up to them, but not for me.

    Afterlife acoustics, that thing belongs in the afterlife.

    How much for those Ekos he's flogging?!?!
    They're not bad guitars but there's no rarity value because they're virtually indestructible.

    Mmmm…..3.5 mm action with what looks like virtually no break angle.

    *Actually it looks a bit better in a different photo. Ignore.
