Is A Gibson Custom Shop Worth The Extra Money?!

It has been one of my longtime dreams to own a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul. Now that I was finally able to afford one, I went and tested a few, and after some deliberation I ordered a limited Tennessee Sunset Burst 1959 Standard from Thomann. This gave me the comfort of trying out the guitar with my own gear and comparing it to my current favorite Les Paul: my Standard 60s which I upgraded with Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers, which has been played in for 2,5 years and set up to my liking. Comfort is a big word in contemplating buying a Custom Shop while trying at home, since they're so expensive. The big question is; are they worth that much money (to me)?

Sorry for the noice in the audio at the beginning of this video. While shooting the first day it turned out that the camera's battery had an issue, interfering with the audio. Ofcourse I couldn't redo my initial reactions, or at least I prefered keeping it real (with some noise) rather than faking in.

If you're looking to buy this guitar and similar Gibson Custom Shops, keep an eye on Thomann's website www.thomann.de. Mind you this video was not sponsored in any way, I bought this guitar from them full price with my own money with the intention of keeping it!
