    really wish these models were more easily available, I've been looking for one for years but am not willing to pay the prices they ask, there's one on ebay at $4,600. A few years ago there was a Tokai custom made guitar but with poly finish and I passed on it.
    Edwards makes an all mahogany model with p90's, no alnico V but it can be added.

    Check out Richard Henry guitars - last I saw he had 3 going from £3-3.5k. Some v nice early 90s ones in the mix.

  • Thanks Liamon. Someone sold a custom R54 recently for £2100 in quite good condition. I do not understand why the prices change so much with this guitar !

    I think it's because they're so rare and expensive. Imagine you have one to sell and you've paid around £4K for it, not many people, even pros are in the market for such an expensive guitar, so I think sellers take it down to £2k just to be able to sell it. Good luck!

    Could be worth contacting him, I have negotiated a couple of fair deals with Richard.  If you don't ask you don't get.

    I think the deal you mention above for £2,100 is a great deal for the buyer, I bet he legged it, but seems to be below market value for a historic LP Custom.
