I recently thought about an LP but ended up with a PRS CE24. I paid $1650 for it new and dont regret a single penny. I haven't ruled out and LP in the future, they are different from the PRS however between the axes I played the PRS won hands down.

Moral of the story, try out as many as you can in your price range and go for the one you like the best !

I was horrified to see (in the thread that LOTS mentions) that seconds are sold as new, this has to be criminal or something !

Makes you think !
