ChrisM	Re: Ibanez Les Pauls I bet the damn japanese bought them up just like our tweed amps and 50's Strats and Burst Pauls..... Actually, I bet a lot of these are in places were no one knows they're any good: pawn shops, attics, etc. I guarantee that they're a dime a dozen over in asia. Too bad stuff doesn't come this way from Japan as often as it goes the opposite direction, they really made some damn fine knock-offs back in the day. They might still be makin good 'uns for all I know. Too bad we never hear about websites where we can get stuff from Japan. I bet they have on-line guitar sites(of course they're probably in Japanese, so it wouldn't make much difference for most of us if we found them anyway). -Chris
