Considering that if that guitar is in Finland and I've never seen or heard about it, I'd say that it is quite rare. At least here. Usually all stuff comes on our muusikoiden.net sooner or later because "I want to trade this to a Strat." Any idea on the prices? Seems all right to me.

I don't know what they sell for. According to the Grimshaw Guitars website:

"The Les Paul copy (GS30) were impressive guitars and were the best selling model of the sixties over 400 were manufactured , despite the fact that they were more expensive than the Gibson original, which were only available second hand (it should be remembered that between 1961 and 1969 Gibson did not make the traditional Les Paul guitar)."

I'm good,I was just curious about this guitar. When I first saw it in the video I thought it was just a cheap japanese Les Paul copy. But from what I read these Grimshaw guitars were high quality guitars with hummbuckers licensed by Gibson.
