One of my bucket list guitars has always been a Les Paul Custom in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. It's what my dad played and that guitar is what I always thought of as the ultimate guitar as a kid.
For whatever reason, Gibson just isn't putting out a lot of Customs in that finish.
However, there are plenty of 2014 Customs in a real nice price range (for me) but the only issue is the Richlite fretboard.
I don't flip guitars anymore. Once they cone into my house, they're pretty much here to stay. So resale value isn't a pressing concern for me.
Is the difference between richlite and ebony worth the couple of thousand dollars? Would you say no to a Custom at a low price just because of Richlite?
