Les Pauls Standards are the biggest bargain !

Re: Les Pauls Standards are the biggest bargain !

LP Standards "under the radar?" LOL! They're only one of the most well-know and sought-after guitars out there on the used market...
 
Re: Les Pauls Standards are the biggest bargain !

I see them all the time on Nashville CL for $1400 to $1600. To me, that's too high.

I've bought all my LP's in the last 3 years off Nashville or Atlanta CL and have yet to give more than $1300 for any of them. Of coarse, that's not the norm, but $1400 to $1600 prices are everywhere. If you're not seeing them, you're not looking hard enough.

Prices from ended eBay auctions on 2000 to 2005 LP Standards...

1900
1575
1650
1295
1499
2297
2399
1825
1395
1600
2899
2119
2557
1550

Now, the average here is just under $1900

I have no doubt that you can buy players grade or less LP Standards for $1600 and less...I mean I recently bought a 1956 LP Jr. for $50 but trust me when I tell you, it wasn't worth it!

Hell, all this said the truth is I could care less about off the shelf LP Standards...I hate the neck shapes, hardware, pickups, electronics, top carves, neck angles building construction and finishes...

I bought my 2003 LP Standard new for $1600 in 2004.
I bought my mint eboney 1994 LP Standard recently for $975.
 
Re: Les Pauls Standards are the biggest bargain !

Bought a 2004 for $1663 at the end of 2005 and sold it for $1500 in 2009 via Craigslist.

Hell, I got my '04 Standard brand new right out of the shipping box for $1,600. Amazes me that I can probably get more than that on E-Bay right now. The guitar really is nothing out-of-handedly special.

They sell for less locally, however.

Paid $1050 for a 93 LP Standard in 94. Sold it 3 years ago for the same price.
