Tonights Craigslist Score!

2008 Les Paul Traditional Plus. Honeyburst. Mint....not a scratch to be found anywhere! It sill has that new guitar smell....If you've ever bought a new Gibson you know the smell! 50's neck which I don't prefer but it's on the smaller side, it feels nice. The acoustic tone is incredible, I had to have it!! Found it on Craigslist, the guy lived about 7 miles from me.....The wife even likes it! (thats 95% of the battle!)
Got a really good deal on it too!

Very nice! I thought I did good on craigslist today but you got me beat!
I picked up a Dunlop 535Q Wah pedal for $40!

Congratulations!! That's beautiful. I've always wanted a flamed honeyburst Les Paul.

Seriously though, I am jealous of people who find gibsons that they love. This one is amazingly beautiful, and if you like the way it plays, that's a lifetime keeper. The gibson sound is unmistakable ( I have a fund in my account specifically for when I find one that I clic with, so I won't miss out). There are a handful of gibsons that are instant and timeless classics, and you have one of them ( A red SG or a 335 in general being the other ones, imo). Enjoy it.
 
Re: Tonights Craigslist Score!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm really enjoying this guitar. I usually swap pickups right off the bat but this one has such a sweet tone I think I'll leave it stock! As for what I paid? The guy was asking $1400, thats what I paid........Not exactly the deal of the century but still extremely good compared to what they go for elsewhere. He paid $2300 over the summer......He had fallen on some hard times and needed the money so we both were satisfied with the deal................
