Here's an LP for ya!

Such a great CL listing. Trust me it's from the 60's. Broken neck. Just give me $20k. Ok thank you! Love these types of listings. Nice guitar and looks pretty authentic but c'mon.

The square slugs pieces in the pickups are '60s Gibson?

man. On the other side of the coin......check out this LP! A super flamey R9 for $1200 but no pic of the actual headstock?

What is not authentic about this Paul? Looks great to me. Will this guy take bitcoin?

Of course not. It's Japanese or I'm the real King of England.

Is there actually ANYTHING about that guitar that would make it worth more than $1000 (when it was brand new it cost $450)?

 

[GuitarDoc]

He doesn't say what the damage to the neck was or anything about the repair. He didn't include a pic of that repair. He didn't include the actual date of the guitar (which he could have gotten from the serial number if this is real). Pups are obviously not original (or even ANY Gibson). Horrible soldering job.

Is there anything about the seller that doesn't deserve a slap in the face or a kick in the butt?

Page used it in the studio on LZII, my cousin's gardener's wife knows the seller and told me this.

"I have five other people looking at this guitar if you want it let's get it done right now!"

It's my #1 guitar, best guitar I have ever played in my whole entire life in the universe even and I have been a touring musician for over 250 years. Best era, best wood, best appointments absolutely perfect and I really hate to see it go. Best offer takes it.

That kind of stuff never makes sense to me and it's always out there

To me, the husk looks like it might be an actual '74 Gibson Les Paul Custom, but not a 1960's model. The pickups were just replaced. Why someone would do that, can't say. But it's not a $20k guitar in any event.

 

[GuitarDoc]

I don't know about the Paige story. But my neighbor's friend said that his dad's cousin saw someone who really looked alot like Clapton pick this guitar up and play it in a pawn shop 40 years ago. He thought it was a piece of crap so he just dropped it on the floor and left. That's supposedly how the neck got broken. But since it was played by Clapton (even if it was only for a minute) then I guess it really IS worth the $20,000 asking price.

 

[GuitarDoc]

Hey...there's going to be a bidding war on this guitar so if you want it, better move fast.

 

[Securb]

It warms my heart thinking this guitar is already hanging on some lawyer's or Jim Isley's wall.

 

[blakejcan]

Great news! Price is now reduced to $12,000!
