When you compare them to Fender / Sandberg / Nash etc. they're a complete bargain.
I got Gotoh Res-o-lites on mine, which bumped the price up a little. The weight saving was worth it though, and they still look authentic...
Since getting mine, I've been lucky enough to acquire beautiful (real) '73 and '63 P's. Technically I should now sell my Limelight, but I can't part with it. It's just too wonderful.
