Reddit reviews Grover Accordion Accessory (102-18G)

> It is less desirable wood, lesser electronics, hardware quality is iffy (China is getting better but is not quite there yet), paint and finish are partial.

I call BS. The Epiphone LP Custom Pro goes for $600. Meanwhile Gibson is claiming the "Historic" '57 Les Paul Custom is worth more than 10x that, at $7,700.

• They're both mahogany bodies.
  
• The Gibson has an ebony fingerboard, while the Epi has rosewood. That's a price difference of about $20
  
• There's no real price difference between the Epi's 'Graphtech Nubone Nut' and the Gibsons 'Nylon nut'. Graphtech isn't considered cheap chinese crap.
  
• A set of the Epi's gold Grover tuners (again, not exactly reputed to be cheap chinese crap) goes for $72, while the Gibsons Klusons go for $120. A little more expensive, but not 10x expensive.
  
• The bumblebee cap adds like $60 to the price.
  
• A set of Custombuckers sells for $300 - $400 used, while a set of 498T & 490R go for ~$220 new. So there's a couple hundred difference there.
  
  
  They do claim "the Historic '57 Les Paul Custom model includes all "True Historic" plastics and parts, chemically and structurally re-engineered from vintage examples." - OK so they ordered some custom knobs & such.
  
  I'd believe them if they marked the guitar at $2,699. Maybe even $3,299. But $7,699? Bullshit.

Here are the exact tuners that I use but in gold that should match your hardware.
