Re: Help me find a great Gibson Les Paul
Ishibashi one looks to have sold. This is still cheap for the next $2000 worth of bids, though.

It's certainly frustrating when the photos don't reflect the condition. I've fallen foul of that.

Re: Help me find a great Gibson Les Paul
Top edge of the headstock looks chipped all along it. No idea how one achieves that. There's checking around the controls and indentations front and back of the body and headstock. It's been knocked and bumped and obviously not treated with kid gloves.
I'd suggest if you prefer your guitars minty, this one's best avoided.On the other hand. It's starting to relic nicely with that checking and at the current price would be a perfect working Lester. I see you're bidding against all the usual suspects.
Don't talk to me about failure; sometimes I even fail to disappoint myself.

I've played it. No reissue will even come close to it's mojo.

Not sure, but it looks great to me at $4800, let alone the current $3200.Jay wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 8:35 amIsn't the 'guy' selling it a forum member?Slowy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 7:29 amTop edge of the headstock looks chipped all along it.

TmcB is one of the owners of Family Store. Maybe they are selling on behalf.
