Long neck tenons and plain tops

shuie · Oct 28, 2005

Whats my best bet for a long tenon plain top Les Paul clone?

i obviously am a fan of the Tokai stuff, but it seems like I have to step up to a LS150 to get the logn neck tenon. LS150 means that a plain top is not really an option. I dont want to pay a premium for either feature.

What are my options?

TIA

A new LS120 with a plain maple veneer added by some specialist... or he could also just take off the flamed maple veneer...

Thanks guys.

I didnt realize the 120 had a long tenon. Removing veneer has to be a big job. And I thought the consensus on the 120 was that for the money, you might as well do the 150. I should just get a 320 and be done with it. Its a slippery slope

but an old LS150 is still cheaper than a new 320 ...Orville by Gibson/high end greco also have long tenon and superb build quality..nitro finish etc etc ..

Thanks villager!

Do regular Orvilles have the nice non-poly finish, or only the ObG's? I searched for this and I cant tell from the threads that were returned.
