"What is the differece of buying a Dommenget Explorer for 5000$ or buying a Gibson Explorer for 1500$" Once asked me my friend. Well there are many diffrences between them. Like:
You cannot have a Floyd Rose tremmolo on a Gibson
You cannot have Locking Nut on a Gibson
You cannot have the Same Sound as the Dommenget
You cannot have 24 frets on the Gibson
You cannot have the Same paint(it's not so important though but it's still nice)and many more......
But still I don't think that it's worth the price, but I don't regret buying it.
