Hello all Gibson LP gurus.

Need urgent help to try and ID this unknown (entry level ?) LP.

The seller is asking a whopping $940.00 USD.

What is it ?
From what year ?
What is a decent asking price ?

All info will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help needed to ID unknown Les Paul please.

I am not even an amateur of Gibsons, but somehow I feel like I can read "The Paul" under the Les Paul sig on the headstock. But given the state it's in, I'm pretty positive that it is not worth 940. I'd offer him 490. :) But I really don't know what to look for on specific LP models, I went by a gut feeling and general condition...

Is that a tummy cut?

I'm not aware of any Gibson having one of those
 
Re: Help needed to ID unknown Les Paul please.

It checks out to me as a The Paul II.
 
Re: Help needed to ID unknown Les Paul please.

As I remember, Gibson's "The Paul" did indeed have a tummy cut, and was thinner than a Les Paul.
 
Re: Help needed to ID unknown Les Paul please.

You can get a nice LP Studio with lots more feature for $700 to $900.

I would pass on that one.
 
Re: Help needed to ID unknown Les Paul please.

I paid less than $900 for this one
In 2017

Brand new

Of course it has had some mods

Why does the OP one have the Les Paul signature and the Reverb listing have a plain headstock? Something seems a little odd. They changed the headstock during the run?

Yeah, I noticed that too, most pics I found had no Les Paul sig, only a "The Paul" on the truss rod cover
 
Re: Help needed to ID unknown Les Paul please.

Is the first fret totally jacked, or is it just th angle of the photo? I'm referring to the headstock pic.
 
Re: Help needed to ID unknown Les Paul please.

Looks like the owner put a Les Paul decal on it and put a very bad clear coat over it that didn't play nice with the finish on the head stock then changed the TR cover to a plain one.

Certainly not worth what is being asked.

The pic under the tummy cut photo
Shows the same jacked fret

I wouldn't pay for it

You can get Gibson basement models from 3yrs ago for about $500

Didn't they have a $700 new model here a few years ago?

Like someone above said

Brand new studio isn't much more
