£2K 'Les Paul' Comparison.... Gibson, Maybach, Tokai, Heritage, & Eastman 🎸 Which Will You Pick?

It's finally time to bite the bullet and compare my mega collection of 'proper' £2k single cuts and decide which ones will stay and which ones will be listed for sale on reverb. After playing all these again this week it just got a lot harder... ☹️🎸🤔

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
