Due to the outrageous success of the Honeyburst 'Tree of Life' Les Paul, Richwood have brought out a range of this stunning beast in 7 colours, with a very limited number - only 24 - of each colour made. It really is as simple as this - when they've gone, they've gone! This really is your chance to own a guitar of unreal quality, for a price that should really have another zero on the end. In fact, I swear that if it had a Gibson logo on the headstock it would!!

Starting from the top, the guitar is bound round the headstock, neck and the whole body with Mother of Pearl. The mahogany (set-in) neck has 22 frets, with a Rosewood fingerboard, into which the exquisite Mother of Pearl 'Tree of Life' is inlaid across its entirity. Down to the solid mahogany body, we find a beautiful bookmatched deep quilted maple top in a Blue-Burst finish. 2 high output gold humbuckers, the gold 'Tune-O-Matic' bridge, tailpiece and machineheads set this guitar off beautifully. The pickups are controlled by 2 volume and 2 tone pots, and a 3 way selector switch.

Looks

Awesome - the ultimate Les Paul. Build quality second to none, and looks to kill. We'll let the pictures do the talking. If this had a Gibson logo on the headstock, you'd be paying about �000. Why bother when you can have one of these at a fraction of the cost?! One eBayer said his Honeyburst 'Tree of Life' had a body and neck better than his Gibson Class 5 Custom!

Sounds

All the distinctive Les Paul sounds ooze out of this beast, almost identical to the very guitar which it emulates! I've compared it next to several Gibsons, and I can't tell the difference. No matter which pickup configuration you're using, you're never far off those classic LP tones.
