WHY CANT THERE BE A LES PAUL IN MY CLOSET/GARAGE/BASEMENT/ATTIC

[TheJeffryButnic2]

Wow that guitar look expensive, do you take souls?

[lumpfish99]

@danspivey91 this happened maybe 8 years ago and it can still bring me to tears today thinking about it....if i had been maybe 10 minutes earlier my life would be different right now! I would not have sold it though!

@rockandroll4life2001 why didnt you start looking for a strat from the same year

[mani1357mani]

No Gary Moore?

Am I correct?

[danspivey91]

@lumpfish99 I wish! no I just needed to get a price to understand the full pain of the story. I can honestly say I would have cried for days if that had happened to me.

[lumpfish99]

@danspivey91 somewhere between 240,000 and 440,000 depending on condition....but you could sell it and buy a house no problem....why you one?!!

I have a beat-to-crap '73 Lester Polsfus Custom Black Beauty, Fretless Wonder. It's truly an amazing guitar-better than any vintage burst or gold top I've ever played.

I would sell it.

And then i buy a very good piece of old wood and get my own personal highend guitar.

With the best parts i can find out there. Handmade from a guitar master. With highest quality.

And i will follow every single step. And it would look the way i want it.

No Gibson brand on it. And much better. Because i dont pay a good part just for the name.

Every single $ goes into quality. And its not made just to make money....

To bad my 08 Gibson SG Special Faded is not worth 750k :/

Whammy bars no matter BEND the STRINGS

[danspivey91]

@lumpfish99 that is a truly painfull guitar story, but out of interest, how much was it worth?

[stone314687]
