Re: how much would my guitar sell for?

$850 tops. I buy and sell (broker) instruments. Last Les Paul studio I sold I got $611. There is no way you are going to get 1,200 and possible but very very very unlikely you'll get 1,000. I'd say $800-$950 is what you might get if you're lucky. The best way to tell is search ebay or completed items for les paul studios, sell what they sold for, and that's pretty much what people will compare it to.

I say keep the gibson and save up for the Schecter. I hate Gibson guitars but I wouldn't mind getting a desertburst like that.

I'd have to agree with Xero. I've been studying Studios on ebay for several weeks waiting for a nice '95 to come around (one of the recent and exceptional years that these baby's were made....great playa's), and I saw just one or two with as nice a finish as yours which as I recall went for around $800. Unless you're a collector (aren't we all?....lol) that finish is the only thing that makes the guitar different from any other Studio.
Prices on regular red, black, or white finished Studios in great shape have been around $600-$650. Why would a person wanna spend $300-400 more just for a finish?
But that is a beauty of a Studio you have there. If I had the money I could've went for your's over the ebony '95 I just bought the other day.
Good luck on your auction!
