The knobs are fine. Golden ones might still fit better though... Anyway, really cool! I want one too... I'll have to come by and rape that soon... I'll shred it so bad it'll never stay in tune again...
You know, that in the future, I suggest pawnshops (I work on one). Gibson Les Paul Studios usually goes about 700-800 euros there. Few months ago I bought Ibanez S-series guitar from there and paid 150 euros, the original price some years ago was 1200 euros, so it was a good deal.
Nice looking guitar you have there, no question about it, just a hint for the future.
yep, or another "cheap" thing is to buy from States.
As I bought my Jackson KE-2 from States, and got it here with taxes and mailing (mailing cost 200€!!!) with 1350€ ... and that guitar costs in here 2700-3000€ ... so it was a nice deal
