Isn't this just proof, if proof be need be, that true historic type Les Pauls are only worth £2.5k?

no - that they're worth at least £2.5k.

You have your gas hat on - you mean at most, surely?

no, if a product is selling out briskly at price A the market would probably bear a price of A + X.

as for what X is the only way to know would be to test it, a reverse auction would do that.

They've used their picture of mine for the Teaburst listing, how flattering ;-)

I must be losing my mind as I’m considering buying another one, but in Iced Tea, and taking advantage of GG’s 0% interest deal.........

A bit of digging around on the 'net seems to confirm what Ossy and Whitecat are saying.

- they have the True Historic plastics and hardware;
- they use hide glue on the top, neck and fretboard fit;
- the top carve has improved (much more noticeable dish) and is based on a particular 'burst (Carmelita).  True Historics from 2015 and 2016 had flatter tops with less dishing;
- the cutaway depth has improved (deeper now apparently);
- not a hand sanded finish but they do have a thin nitro finish and the rolled fretboard binding;
- they are also using a new aniline dye back color that has more brown like the originals (less red than the True Historics).

So the top carve could be seen to be arguably "better" on a 2017 vs a True Historic if you like the big dish.  The only other difference is the finish technique, although both are thin nitro.

So basically they're True Historics at £2499.

Well, that warms my cockles.

I have played Carmelita ! For about an hour, through an original pinstripe 18w Marshall. It's a particularly attractive Les Paul.
