I have a Vintage Telecaster Icon I got for like £130.. it's pretty good, especially for the price. I'm gonna put a new pickup in it and it should sound awesome.. plus it's all road worn and looks badass.

Anyway, no idea about this guitar.. didn't even know it existed, but I've played the V100 Icon and that was pretty good too, again, for the price. This is probably on par with an Epiphone, I'd guess.

they showed it at NAMM?!

Nothing against cheap guitars, but making a blatant copy AND calling it AFD Paradise AND showing up at NAMM where the "official" thing is likely to be displayed at the Gibson booth does seem strange (to say the least). I'm not even remotely interested in checking this one out

BTW: I do realise that the AFD gtr wasn't even a Gibson so it's weird that they sell a copy of a copy but still... They were the ones who were copied in the first place so you could say that they have every right to copy everyone who copies them.

Slash's original was a Gibson copy.. then Gibson copied the Gibson copy, now Vintage have copied Gibsons copy of a copy?

yup, pretty much

I've seen some vids, and with the right amp they should sound amazing for the money!
