Gibson was not the only company making nice Les Pauls

I got a 78 Ibanez les paul as well. I had like 4 or 5 of 'em and kept the best one. I must say these Ibanez Lp's are great, but this Fenix is a level higher IMO.

A bandmate of mine had an Aria ProII back around the same time..1978. GREAT guitar!!! It was a dead ringer for a LP Standard. Played wonderfully too! I've looked for one for years, but the only ones I find are all just trashed, sadly. I guess no one really takes care of these for some reason...too bad.

Aria made some nice guitars as well (from matsumoku factory)

Nice guitar porn! Schweet! Any one ever see a Heritage H150CM? :wink:

 

[Ibanez666]

They are made by Scala Guitars and the model is Dorian (as in Ionian, Dorian, Lydian...).

They look very nice but are not LP copies like the Fenix is

 

[xibalba]

edwards makes a good les paul as well

True. I guess they are 'inspired' by LP design. Both top and back sides are arched and some controls are moved around or eliminated altogether.

Here's one I used to own: H150CM LW (light weight = chambered)

I have an early 70's pre lawsuit Ibanez LP Custom copy and it feels nothing like a Les Paul. Great guitar but nothing like an actual Les Paul.

Looks like there is a typo on that spec sheet for the Fenix LP copy....neither of those guitars have the "24 frets" that the sheet says they have :lol:

Sweet looking guitars though!
