What’s better (disregarding taste) Harley B TE53KR or Vintage V59 icon (disregarding the relic)

Which one did you get? The V59?

Yes

It’s from the ICON series, so better build quay than regular Vintage models. 

Should be an absolute cracker!

Ooh thanks ,that’s great news

The goltop LP ICON is fabulous value for money.

I’ve got a Goldtop R6, and a goltop Gretsch Jet, so well sorted for Goltops, but I keep looking at this one.

The Peter green one & the appetite are well regarded

Just ordered the Vintage   JHS must be running that Ivor Mairants store as it sells all their stuff
   & it said you have just made a payment to John Hornby Skewes 

Thanks for the tip. 

I had a look at the outlet section of the site, sone great deals on Vintage brand guitars here 
https://ivormairants.co.uk/collections/outlet-guitars

Every so often they do blanket discounts as well (which also usually apply to the Outlet ones)- 10%, sometimes 15%. They haven't for a while, though. I think I got 10% off my Outlet Jazz Bass. Needless to say, a couple of weeks later they did 15%...

That's interesting, I didn't know that. Some of the Fender-style Icon models actually seem to use "worse" wood like poplar for some reason? Whether that makes any difference or not, though, I don't know!

Excellent score on the V59 @hollywoodrox ;;;

 Also the Thomas Blug Strat is very well regarded.

A friend had a lovely Lemon Drop (Peter Green model), and it’s a cracking thing. He’s a friend of Yrevor Wilkinson, and was also gifted the hand reliced prototype version.  It’s his main gigging guitar.

Agree with everyone here, but I'd still love to see a 'reverse reliced'  PG Lemon Drop, as the later un-reliced version is just too glossy & clean looking.
Strip the back & neck back to wood & then oil finish. The top maple laminate is beyond rescuing, so leave it as is & play
