Hi everyone. This list is a combination of guitars I've owned and also tested over the years. I have only put guitars I've actually played on this list with a few "honorable mentions" at the end! Thanks for watching and for all the support with this series of videos. Please leave a thumbs up if you dig it and links to all the stuff in the video are in the description. Rock on and keep safe!

I've got an ESP LTD EC1000 Deluxe that I'd put up against any guitar on this list. Cost me $600 AUD secondhand but in mint condition. I seriously can't find a flaw with it. Worth checking out.

The Gretsch Duo Jets with the Broad'tron pickups are badass.

As a lefty it’s great to be watching someone who is a lefty

I have two LTD Eclipse's and they are incredibly good guitars. Rarely play my Les Paul anymore.

Edwards - made by ESP for the Japanese market. Can't be sold in the US because they are so close to Gibson's. Amazing guitars. I own a black P-90 one.

ESP are extremely well-made guitars fit and finish right up there.

You sold me the Gibson LP Special, and you were totally right. It's an absolutely great guitar. It became quickly my number 1. I have tried LP Standards, Traditional, Classics, Studios, and I used to own an LP Traditional 2018 that was great, but there is something about the LP Special that I know it's a guitar I will never sell (Unless I really really really need for any reason). I have also tried many different Tokai guitars, and they are very good, and it's absolutely true that they have great quality and are very consistent. For anyone who wants a Gibson, the LP Special is the best one you can get for the money by far IMHO!! Even if I had a Standard, The LP Special would still be my number 1 guitar.

Agile AL series with Grover tuners. AL-2000 is like the LP Standard but with ceramic pups. AL-3000 series are like Customs and have Alnico 5 pups, with options such as ebony fretboard and thru-neck construction. Great values.

Godin Session...made in Canada, beautiful quality at a fraction of the price of a Gibson

I've got two Gibson Les Paul's ( a Standard and a Tribute) and both of them are now in their cases because I discovered the ESP EC-1000 range. I have one with EMG's and one with Seymour Duncan's - buying used, together they cost less than the Tribute and they are magnificent!

Was never an LP fan and then I played and ended up buying a Tribute Gold Top. Love this guitar and it was under a grand!

Look at the Wolf brand, I own one and it's beautiful.

I've been a long time ESP player. My current main guitar is an E-II Eclipse DB. I also own a Gibson R7. I play the ESP more. I Iove my Gibson, but my ESP is a much better feeling instrument to play

Agile guitars from Rondo Music have many L.P. style models. They are made in South Korea available in left or right handed and some models feature real mother of pearl or abalone inlay, rosewood or ebony fingerboard, alnico pickups, neck through or set neck construction, fancy veneer or real maple caps. I've owned a number of Agile guitars and have been very pleased with the quality, sound and playability. Prices range from about $300 to $500 US.

Also Darrell Braun did a great rundown on a black Schecter LP that seemed better than a gibson in every way

Another mention would br Cort CR models. I own the Cort CR 280, the highest of the 200s series but all of them are the same (200, 250 and 280 have the same pickups and specs). When i bought mine i tested against a Epiphone Standard, and the Cort had brighter sounding pickups, which made me decide for it (plus the fact it was half the price of the Epiphone). Not only that but it has a real maple cap (its thick enough for you to see on the cutaway) and the flame is beautiful, it moves with the light. If its a veneer its a really good one.

I firmly feel you have the best sounding voice production in the KZfaqr guitar community, it's so crisp.

I'll buy ESP Standards/E-IIs over a gibson any day of the week. I Just bought the blue fade with burl maple and it's stunning! the LTD 1000 line isn't shabby either, and often go used under 600, or even 500 bucks. I'd highly suggest buying one, I know lefties are hard to find but I hope you're able to try a lefty ESP or LTD soon!

I sold my lp standard. Just wasn’t comfortable to play. Now got a ESP ltd ec1000 and love it. I’d say it’s more for metal guitar than rock/blues as it has actives but really comfortable to play.

ESP and their budget friendly LTD products are incredible bargains. I've owned a number of them and they're absolutely fabulous. Something else that didn't make your list but NEEDS TO BE ADDED is Godin. Godin are IMHO some of the best guitars on the planet. Little known fact: Godin is the OEM for many other makers for necks - Jackson and Charvel both have used Godin necks in most of their models.

JHS Vintage - I have an AFD model and, with a Seymour Duncan pickup installed in the neck, it’s exactly the sound I want, and it’s got a beautiful flame top. Well worth it on the second hand market, as they are cheap second hand and make great platforms for experimenting with new pickups.

Dr Rick looks like such a stereotypical Blues Doctor on stage, I love it. I actually picked up a PRS SE One exactly the same as his from Traralgon in mint condition with its PRS gig bag for $100 in October 2017 and sent it on long-term loan to a friend who had their house ransacked. They're planning on returning it to me once the isolation period for COVID-19 is over. One brand you missed here is Vintage by JHS - UK-owned brand similar to Harley Benton, but specced out with all Wilkinson parts (and co-designed by Trev Wilkinson himself). All their Les Paul clones are amazing, but I'm particularly fond of the V120 (LP Junior) and the V100 AFD and Lemon Drop (Slash AFD and Peter Green clones respectively). As far as ESP goes, I used to work for the Australia distributor and have owned quite a few Custom Shop models, but I absolutely love the brand, and still do even after leaving CMI. Anything from the LTD EC-256 line upwards is going to be exceptional, and if you can find a used LTD EC-1000 for under the sort of $600 AUD mark I couldn't recommend picking one up enough. The old ESP Standard Series EC-1 CTM series with the traditional 4-knob layout honestly killed any Gibson I ever picked up, a shame they discontinued the model.

I have a lefty Ltd ec256 in cobalt. Beautiful guitar. Solid pickups, jumbo frets. Very comfortable to play

I owned a LTD that came stock with Duncan’s. Fantastic guitar! If you come across a lefty I would highly suggest it. It’s A LOT of guitar for the money. As with some of the other brands they don’t hold value but that’s great for us!

I think that Japan makes the best guitars in the world. I saw a Japanese custom shop video. The attention to detail was amazing.

I own a LTD EC-256 fm and I think it feels and sounds great :)

ESP/LTD EC-1000 Deluxe Series,they have various models with Piezo systems,with Evertune or with OFR, active EMG's for the metal players,passive S.Duncans for more classic rock oriented players and a new model with Fishman Fluence pickups which is like a Swiss Army Knife guitar. The Fishman pickups can be operated like passive PAF humbuckers or you can run them in active mode,like high-output pickups and they have coil-split mode.

Vintage V100. I have 2, the standard V100 in tobacco and the AFD100 in flamed Amber ('Slash copy' ). Both are seriously well-built and great sounding guitars. I got passive EMGs put in the V100 and now it sounds monstrous. Heavy guitars (weight-wise) but lovely to play.

I have two Gibson Les Paul Standards as well as an Eastman SB59-GB. The Gibsons have that sturdy feel and do have a little extra sizzle sonicly. However, the Eastman is extremely competitive. The neck feels great and the it plays flawlessly. It sounds fantastic as well. The Eastman is a guitar I find myself reaching for a lot.

I’m a big fan of the Tribute and Studio LP models. All of the Gibson feel and looks at more than half the price!!😎😎😎😎

I’ve played a ESP E2 eclipse and ESP/LTD EC-1000. Both were top quality guitars and played great the E2 Eclipse was really a great guitar and had a really comfortable neck

ESP/LTD make fantastic guitars. Often they make a better single cut than Gibson.

I have an 2008 ESP 1000. It is better than my 2019 Les Paul in some ways. No tuning issues and it is lighter. I use to like the EMG pickups but I am going to swap them out for passive. My 2019 Gibson LP GT Tribute sounded great and played great when I bought it. Never owning one before I was aware of the tuning issues. I purchased a string butler. That solved the problem. I upgraded the tuners, pulled out the circuit board and pots and replace the pickups. I didn’t have to replace the pickups but that is just some I do sometimes. I fill that now that I did all that it is the guitar I should of purchased to begin with. I do play it now more than my others, but to get it where I thought it needed to be cost me an extra $300 not including the pickups. Putting that at around $1700. It still doesn’t stay in tune like the ESP but it is a lot better. Thanks Shane this is helpful. I do own a lesser expense LTD and it plays fine. With the cheaper guitars I just worry about having to do a lot of work to make them play well.

I love my ESP LTD EC 1000 Deluxe, plays and sounds as good as any of my Les Paul’s, absolute quality and a premium feel to boot. But I love my PRS SE the most out of all of mine

The thing I love about the LP special is it has the bound neck which you don't see a lot on the Studio models. The play great, sound amazing and so much less than a standard. Hard to beat for sure!

I own two ESP LTD guitars. One is an Explorer, and the other is a Viper (offset SG shape). They are decent guitars. The higher the price, the better the guitar with ESP. You get what you pay for..

You really should demo a Gretsch electromatic some time, the G5220 would fit in this list, lots of quality for the price, and it's own take on the single cut !

Single cut style guitars are my prefered to play something about the look I'm in love with. I own Gibson, ESP, Harley Benton, Schecter and Epiphone. I recently put a set of Fishman pick ups into my esp eclipse and I love playing it with heavy music. Ibanez has particularly great guitars in the mid price range as well. Those law suit era guitars have been catching my eye lately.

I've owned an LTD-EC401 for about 10 years and it was a life changing Guitar for me. I find it easier to play, better sounding and most reliable out of all guitars I've owned (I've never owned a PRS or any Gibson products in the interest of full disclosure). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anybody and they'll be prying mine from my cold dead hands when they put me in the ground. If you have about $1,000 it's a great choice for sure

My ESP Eclipse II was right around $2000 USD and it's very well made. I don't think you would be sacrificing quality at all with this one. It's less chunky than a Les Paul but very close in tone.

LTD Eclipse 1000 Deluxe. Not a cheap alternative and the prices really got up lately. I bought from a friend who had changed the hardware and the electronics and put bare knuckle pickups. It cost me half the price of a used Les Paul but sounds and feels better that any Gibson that i tried brand new or used. Honestly I wouldn't change it for any Les Paul. PRS SE are amazing too. I'm also looking for a Edwards that are made by ESP however can't be sold in north america and a Tokai Love Rock, thanks to you 🙂

I've got a 1998 Epiphone Les Paul standard (made in Korea) that I bought new and it plays like butter. I'm not sure exactly what the neck is but it feels like it's in between a 50s and 60s. In any case it feels great to me. I did upgrade the pickups to Seymour Duncan 59 Pearly Gates but that's it in 22 years.

The esp eclipse and Ltd ec1000t are absolutely amazing guitars. You should definitely look into testing one out

Interesting list, I agree with the LP Studio, mine is a 1983 made in Nashville and have played it for 37 years.

ESP/LTD EC-1000 is an awesome guitar. I love mine.

No mention of gretsch? They have the slickest neck out of all of the gloss guitars i've played and have the most colour options that ive found for left handed guitars. I got a G5220LH and it plays like a dream.

ESP LTD EC401 - You can get it for less than $400 used and they are AMAZING! And they come with Seymour Duncan pickups. Best bang for the buck for Les Paul style guitars!

Hey Shane, what about the Vintage V100s? Especially the Moore/Greenie Lemon Drop one. Thanks for the great videos!

I have 3 Schecter Solo II Customs. Outstanding guitars.Loaded with premium features, including the best locking tuners on the market, ebony fretboard, coil splitting, relieved nut, hot Pasadena pickups. Any discussion of Les Paul alternatives has to include Schecter.$900 US

Esp is my absolute favorite guitars period.I have an ESP that cost me a couple thousand and I also have 2 LTD'S under a grand and honestly I pick the LTD'S quite a bit.

ESP/ LTD make a great guitar. I've still got my first guitar (Lefty Budget EC-50), still gets played even though I've got a Gibson and other costier guitars. More modern feel, Belly cut, better access up the neck. There's nothing not to like, one day I'll buy an EC-1000, again lefties available and plenty of finish and pick up configs.

I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard (60s neck) with 498 bridge/'57 neck pickups. And I have a ESP LTD EC-401QM with EMGs. The Gibson is basically a pretty piece of art in the corner of the room as the ESP gets played WAY more! Going on neck feel alone, it just fits my hand perfectly and of course with active EMGs its a pure metal machine but does blues and cleans great too. Id sell the Gibson before the ESP.

About ESP LTD: I bought an used ESP LTD F-405 bass for about 400€. It's a metal monster. With grover tuner, emg pickups and a nice playability. I can't imagine anything better for 400€. I can't say anything about guitars from ESP, but their basses are really great for the price. Greetings from Germany, have a nice day :D

I’ve got an Epi. Les Paul Custom in Limited Edition Wine Red. I changed out the pickups and installed Jimmy Page wiring, but I’ve been very happy with it. She’s gorgeous and sounds great!

I have 2 Greg Bennett Avion 7 and i can't be more happy!!! Cheers from Chile!!!

I'm still pissed that I sold my Epiphone "Special 2" LP. It played great and sounded fantastic. Only cost me 100 bucks used.

Esp or ltd guitars mid and high grades are that nice, you should really try them and most of them are split coil pickups in them. 100% good. Also check out the AIO and Wolf same brand LP's, same company in Los Angeles CA. U.S. are very nice as well.

Thanks, Shane. I'm in the USA, and I appreciate your assessments. I just subscribed to, and up-voted, your channel. I appreciate your time and information.

Hi, thanks for this video. You forgot the brand "Vintage" they also made good guitar's. Maybe you don't see them down there. I have my 81 Gibson Les Paul for years but I wanted one with P90's so I bought a Vintage gold top with P90's for $400 USD and it is a very good guitar... Thanks also for all your video's

ESP guitars are fantastic. The LTD version is the more affordable but right up there with Epiphones.

Have you looked at Wolf guitars? Korean built and pretty cool. I have one and it plays great. Always come back to Fender though.

Great list! I’ve got a ‘99 LP Studio that I will never part with. They’re lovely guitars.

Hi from Spain. I always enjoy your videos honest and fair. You once did a video of an "Indie Super T" which is an excellent low cost Telecaster, but they are rare now. "The Indie Guitar Co." made some great guitars including some exceptional "Led Paul" style guitars. The original ones were made in Korea from 2003-2008 but the original company went into liquidation. Their brand was bought by "Gear Stream" and I understand they changed production to China and I don't know about the quality but if anyone can find an "Indie" made in Korea they will not be disappointed. Kind regards, John.

Jerry's guitars. I've been in Sarasota for 4 years and didn't even know. Thank you and good call!

I just got an Epiphone Les Paul MUSE in 'Smoked Almond' (Goldtop) for $419 blemished - it had a very tiny dent/cut in one of the pickup surrounds and it took me over 5 minutes to find it! It has the Coil Splitting and the tone for the neck pickup has phase-switching! It's also THINNER and LIGHTER than a standard Les Paul (7.5lb / 3.4kg). So, it's easier on the back and shoulders of old dudes like me! ;-) I love mine! It's my main guitar now!

Ahh so all those customer returned Artist LP59 lefty’s on eBay are ones you’ve tried and sent back! I’ve been watching them wondering if I should purchase, maybe I’ll try new or one of the factory seconds. Keep up the good work my sons and I enjoy your channel, you are the nicest bloke on the internet!

I own two Agile 3200 guitars. Best comparison to a Gibson Custom, except for neck thru construction. 5 piece walnut / maple neck thru, with carved lower access on back. Just an upgrade to the custom. Heavy? Yes. But, so was the Gibson Custom. Sustain for days. Perfect frets and intonation on both Agile 3200mcc's. These guitars are hand crafted in the Custom shop Rondo Factory in South Korea, and were pre-order. The Rondo Factory in South Korea are excellent craftsman. They also make left handed models, and they make the SX models you mentioned. Some of the sought after Epiphone Les Paul's made in Korea were also made at the Rondo Factory. I wouldn't sell either of my Agiles. But my Gibsons are long gone.

I just bought a Les Paul Austin made guitar AU766 I think is model number, which I can’t find however this thing plays better than the Les Paul! 200 bucks! I’m blown away!

Back in 2013-14. Gibson made A LPJ Les Paul. They were less than $600. I bought two of them last year. Basically a LP Studio with a satin finish.

ESP LTD EC1000VB passive is extremly good, well balanced guitar with a rock tone, thinner body, all mahagony, I loved it, but I have already my perfect LP custom handmade, so I didn't need to buy another LP

Schecter solo. If you can overlook the goofy headstock those guitars are amazing. Call me stupid but I actually sold my Gibson after I bought a Schecter for a third the price and made almost all of my money back. Super solid and very well made.

LP Studios are the way to go! Especially on the used market! $500-750 USD...Studio faded are the least expensive ones. And my favorites!

I got a used Gibson Les Paul Tribute for about $500usd. Absolutely zero complaints. Actually sold my ESP Eclipse after getting it, which was my main guitar.

Glad to see the Greg Bennett made the Honourable Mentions. I have the Avion 3 (yes, in a lefty!) and really like it. Found it for just over $200 CAN in a local pawn shop.

I would take any Japanese made guitar over a US Gibson product without question. For me tho, ESP has really stepped up the quality from Navigator or Edwards(lawsuit brands) to ESP/LTD. I’ve never been disappointed with their fit/finish or playing quality.

I played my Maton Mastersound MS2000 STD alongside a Les Paul when I was shopping for a new guitar. Couldn't find any reason to spend double on the Gibson, so got the Maton. Have never regretted it. A pity Maton are not currently manufacturing electrics. Hopefully they start again soon.

One brand that is really worth mentioning is Burny guitars, MIJ too. I heard the early ones(early 80's) are fantastic. I own one, early 90's, although not as good as the first ones, supposedly, it's very very good. I also own an Orville by Gibson FV, great one too.

@intotheblues Shane, I have two ESP LTD EC-256s. For $300 USD each I got two guitars that are flawless and play like an absolute dream. And this is the lower end of the range. The EC-1000s and the Japanese and American made models are as good as any guitar made The bad side, there are a few full thickness models, but they tend to be thinner which makes them more comfortable, yet tend to sound somewhere between a LP and a SG. Also, I am not a fan of the lawsuit mandated 2v 1T controls.

I used to own a 1981 Ibanez Artist. It was a little beaten and worn, but it played as good as any Gibson I've ever picked up. The pickups weren't half bad either, considering they were stock from the factory. It was one of the first truly great guitars I ever owned. Every time I see one for sale in that creme-yellow color on Reverb or Ebay, I wonder if it's the one that I used to have--and I kick myself for selling it when I see what they're currently going for.

I own a LTD EC-256 it is a great guitar for the buck. I tryed it out against a similar priced Epiphone and turned out better for me.

Just want to leave this here: Wolf WLP 750!

What a great help you are man. This is the second time you opened my eyes to better options.

Are Fujigen still making Les Paul type guitars? Their Teles and Strats are meant to be pretty good quality and a lot less expensive than the originals.

Good selection of good and affordable guitars. I was looking for the one in the thumbnail, looks like an LTD model, quite cool finish! Thanks Shane for another worthwhile video! Play safe stay safe everyone! 🙏

Well, I own an LTD EC-1000 (JB/59 combo), and it's a really good guitar. I'd say it's different from my Gibsons, rather than better or worse, because if I just pick them up for a noodle, I play differently with them. As with all things gear, the choice is not so much which do you buy, it's which you buy first...

My pick for an excellent Les Paul style guitar is Devlin Guitars. I own two Devlin DV 400 L.P. style guitars that are absolutely amazing. Tone is awesome, hardware, and electronics have been extremely durable. They come standard with actual Grover tunning keys. Just thought I'd mention Devlin guitars. Very affordable and very good quality.

the Cort LP's copies are really good and there's a small LA company called AIO/Wolf that puts out relatively cheap priced LP copies as well. Nice looking guitars for the $.

Nice job, sir! My very first Les Paul is an Epiphone Special 1 with two P90s which I got a local flea market for $65 last summer! A few minor dings ( but all on the back...yay ) and it does it all: great sound, very nice neck, interesting translucent matte black finish..my Fenders, Squier, Kala, and Yamaha were jealous, but seem to have gotten over it. Problem: now I want an SG....

Another good reason to get a 2nd hand Eastman is that they come "slightly relic-ed" when new, so a few additional dings and scratches don't matter. I literally paid half price for a gorgeous T-64 (that's their "330" model, with Lollar PUs and a Bigsby), and it's my favorite electric guitar.

Great Video! I got my Gibson les paul traditional in blue 100%mint condition for only $1000, good deals are out there. Also own a LTD Ec1000 This is the best deal for money ive owned epiphone and other knock offs. i use my ltd in the studio for my band, stays intune like nothing else and is intonation is PERFECT. I also have a Esp Eclipse the Japan version and its great aswell!

I bought an esp telecaster (te-254) and I was blown away by the quality, specifically the neck! I think it was only advertised as standard maple but mine is definitely flame maple. Can't mistake those beautiful ripples. Great hardware too. Only gripe is id love to fit a bigsby on it but the screwholes/pickup hole on the bridge are placed differently than most other tele's so finding a vibrato-compatible replacement bridge has been a fruitless errand. Overall, buy their guitars and you won't be disappointed.

That was interesting. I was encouraged to know the SX guitars were up there on the list. I up a flawless used Les Paul Burley wood Amber and yellow finish. It is stunning. I expected the man to say it was seven or eight hundred dollars. I listened to it on a tube amp and it was phenomenal. Thanks

May I suggest trying a Firefly and a Wolf LP style guitars.

Great video. I have been trying to decide on what LP guitar I want.

Excellent review. And as you say there are many other brands that produce great instruments and at great prices, you just have to take your time and try them out. Cheers!

My first guitar was an epiphone lp special 2 from 2011 that i got used for 50$, Easily worth it! Out of all of the guitars i’ve tried it has some of the best tone unplugged. I guess it was a lucky find since allthe other epiphones i’ve tried weren’t nearly as good🙃.

I think the Vintage V100 guitar is probably the best bang for the buck les paul copy. It even looks the closest to the real thing with almost the same specs.

I have 2 (maybe 3, but I need do repairs to the bad work by PO before I can say much about it). First is one of my absolute favorite guitars of ANY styles. It's a 2012 Agile AL-3010. This is a premium Korean LP that's sold at less than premium prices. For under 500$US, you get a LP with abalone-inlaid ebony fretboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, at least @ 12" radius and black TUSQ nut. The headstock has a mildly weird design which can be forgiven since it sports mother-of-pearl inlays, Grover tuners and a lower amount of tiltback (about equal to an Epiphone). All this on a really chunky 50s style mahogany neck that is set onto a full-thickness mahogany body with a thick flame maple cap. The entire top (body, fretboard AND headstock) is fully bound. The stock pickups sounded SO similar to a set of Pearly Gates that I ended up keeping the stock chrome covered pups and installed the real Pearly Gates into a different guitar! My particular AL-3010 had what was called Oceanburst, blue that fades into a transparent teal (greenish-blue) center which nicely shows off the flame maple. The backsides sports a darker teal blue. The bindings are cream. The pup rings are black and the pickguard is 3-ply black/white/black. The hardwares are chrome plated which includes a fully adjustable T.O.M. bridge and saddle bars. This guitar plays fantastically, once I got used to the chunky neck (before this I favoured, and still do now, thin Wizard type necks). I've named it in Hawaiian, Kaʻōmaʻomaʻo (The Green). The biggest drawback may be that this LP is easily one of my 2 heaviest guitars (ignoring basses), the other being a 2011 Ibanez XH300, which is an all-mahogany HH SuperStrat with active electronics that is so big that I had to get a bass gig bag just to carry it. Even then, twas still a tight fit! The other one is a 80s vintage Japanese Cort Flying V lawsuit guitar. This transparent red beauty has 22-fret rosewood unbound fretboard on a somewhat chunky mahogany neck set onto a body that is likewise VERY similar to the real the real thing. Aside from the oversized truss cover, the headstock is VERY similar to a Gibson gennie. The hardwares are gold, with Cort branded sealed tuners and string thru strat-styled hardtail. The 6 saddles are a bit unusual and I suspect they're not originals. They're not gold and are noticably wider than the string-thru hole. Easy to fix. The 2 humbuckers don't look original and the wiring is a bit messed up. Also easily fixed, altho I opted to upgrade them to gold plated Whole Lotta Humbucker set with Triple-Shots. The truss cover and pickguard was replaced with custom cut brass versions. The electronics upgraded to Gibson-spec wiring with gold switch and brass tip. The knobs are also swapped for brass knobs with set-screws. The output jack plate has been changed to brass with gold Pure Tone mono jack. This guitar is fun to play on! OH, just remembered that this video is about LP alternatives...oh well...hmmm...nah not gonna delete the V. LOL

I bought the 2020 Epiphone 59 Les Paul standard and man very premium guitar for an Epiphone! I love it, and it's too bad it's only made for right handed players. But they add the Gibson burstbucker 2&3 pickups in a vos finish that I personally love. Also has the long neck tenon for about 700 bucks. Highly recommend it.
