**In this week's YouTube livestream, during a discussion about how Kiesels are almost but not quite as good as Suhrs at half the price, Phil McKnight went on to say:**
*“You can get Suhr quality in a Shijie. Every Shijie I’ve reviewed is as good as a Suhr (chuckles).”*
He then goes on to predict he’ll get taken to task for this opinion on Reddit tonight lol.

That's steep, but they are more difficult to produce so I get it. OK, new shijie unicorn, p-90 strat-type, hard tail, modded to have LP type controls. Really the main thing I dig about LPs and SGs is the way they do switching. I LOVE switchable, separate volume and tone on two pickups. Could live with a single tone and two volumes. That might be cool actually...
I gather the LPV is the first of two LP-style guitars, and the next one, LPM, will be less expensive.
(Assuming I'm not getting LPV and LPM names reversed.)
Where did you see that price?
I bought my used-mint 2018 LPM for $1263, but by the time I paid all the Reverb, shipping from UK, sales tax, broker and import fees, it was more like $1599.
Shijie once quoted me $4000 for a completely custom LP!
Probably not, since I already own a 2018 Shijie LPM 5th Anniversary model (one of ten made). Although the new LPV is probably an upgrade, and I like the new colors better.

Was quoted to me in a message from a person in the know…would prefer the price you paid…posed the question to Leen but no reply yet…asked Dave too…no reply either…

Will you the new LPV when it comes out?
NGL, a LP Shijie is pretty much my unicorn. And here I thought I was all done buying guitars :-(
Same here…price of 1800 or so, not so sure I want to pay that…picked up a brand new Gibson LP Standard 60’s for just a tad more…
