beautiful les paul on the bay

Re: beautiful les paul on the bay

I mean, jeez, if you can pick up a custom shop Les Paul for half of what this guy is trying for his Standard, why even bother? I doubt most people care that the covers were taken off and the caps were changed, it's still not worth a fraction of what he's asking for.
I don't think he's selling a regular standard. It says in the auction that it's a Custom Shop Historic 59 Reissue. It's no typical standard (from what I can tell), but it's still on the pricey side considering that soldering job...

Am I the only one thinking that open zebra humbuckers never belong in a flame top sunburst Les Paul?
 
Re: beautiful les paul on the bay

I thought the top was just ok on that one and I have seen a LOT better!
Now THIS is a killer top! I sold this one a few months back it's a 2002 Ibanez Artist Prestige and was KILLER player. It was awork of art and so pristine I just couldn't make myself get it out and play it belonged in a showcase!!

Re: beautiful les paul on the bay

First, you're spamming this thread.
Second. That ain't beautiful.
I guess that you're not interested then...
Here, I'll post some pics of my Les Paul in this "Les Pauls on Ebay" thread without mentioning that it's on Ebay to avoid being perceived as spam...(I don't suppose that will please you either but maybe someone else will be interested in seeing it).

Re: beautiful les paul on the bay

beautiful guitar but for close to $5k its a little steep

My feeling too. I've got one just like it and seeing this one go for almost $5000 makes me feel like maybe it's time to unload mine.

Wonder what I could get for it?

BTW, mine came with TWO cases: one brown and one black. That's the way Gibson sold them when I bought mine. I think it's a '98 or '99.

The one in this auction only has the black case...wonder if the owner kept the brown case?

I never thought I'd say this, but that is a little bit too flamed for me...
 
Re: beautiful les paul on the bay

i like it too, but that Ibanez Artist killed all the other guitars in this thread
 
Re: beautiful les paul on the bay

It's supposed to be a 59 Reissue, which means Historic. So whoever said it was just a Standard, it isn't.

I really like the color, really glows, but the cross grain makes it a little too graph-papery for my tastes. Still a very cool guitar and yes to the zebras...

I stand corrected, I can't believe I missed that in the item description, thanks :)
