I'm putting my Les Paul in the yard with a lighting rod on it and then putting it on ebay, lol. Wow, that's a shame. Kind of a rare bird destroyed by a freak accident.

Strange that it doen't look like much happened to the tuners. They weren't in the path of the current I guess.

Of course my first thought was it's a scam and the guy ruined his guitar playing Ace Frehley in a KISS tribute band.

I won't be surprised at all when Gibson does a limited edition "Guitar of the Week" version of this! utahere:

Bid history

Further proof that some folks have far more money than sense.

Re: lightning mojo les paul

Maybe folks think it will make them play guitar like Roy Hobbs hit with his lightning bat in "The Natural"

Re: lightning mojo les paul

if i could snag that axe for under $250 i'd give a go at restoring her for myself... all it is worth is the wooden parts left in the neck and body.... it is no longer a Les Paul... it is the remains of a Les Paul!

makes me wonder of the truss rod needs to be completely replaced... also makes me wonder if the heat weakened the neck/body glue joint

sand her face down for a part refinnish, add a new fingerboard or a patch job on the one there... and touch up the finnish on the neck... and some electronics... just don't try playing her in the rain... it may strike twice...

Now if it had been made out of wood from a mahogany, maple or rosewood tree that had been struck by lightning it'd be an even better story.

+1. Appears to have a short neck tenon. That LP definitely isn't a Reissue (Reissues have long neck tenons).

Re: lightning mojo les paul

SHOCK ME!

I would never sell that guitar. It's got frets up to C - I can use it. By all accounts the story seems legit.

Read up...it's a 1985 model...reissues didn't get the long tenon back until several years after that guitar was made.

As crazy as it is, I still think that guitar is badass.
