Why is the Les Paul so over priced?

Re: Why is the Les Paul so over priced?

Hey, purple LP guy, type "Gibson les paul purple" on ebay you'll find three auctions that have purple LP standards. Apparently these were made in the early '90s and range from $1850-$2100.

Jeez, 11 pages and 200 posts??

How come this one has a ABR-1 bridge?

IDK, like I said, I just typed "gibson les paul purple" and found 3 of them. I saw the year(s) they were made and assumed that it was a special run from the '90s. I know I saw a couple of them a few months ago as well.

That particular LP you gave the link to has been heavily modified BTW. Maybe he or she upgraded to a ABR-1 bridge?

It has ABR-1 studs as far as I can tell from the photos. You can get an ABR-1 to fit on nastyville studs (let's leave aside that that's pointless). But you can't put ABR-1 studs into the craters that Nashville anchors leave.
