Yea, that's true!
I've become rather picky about some stuff such as neck profiles, pickups and a few other details so I prefer to pay a bit more and get it exactly as I want haha

I have a British built guitar (by Gordon Smith) that is an LP Jr style. I'm happy with that. I wanted a Tele too and had a guy in the US build one to my spec for the price of a standard US Fender one. I can understand if you want it from Gibson though.
