you want a black custom,
you want to know rate for a good one
what year/spec to avoid.
my answers are, £3-4k
avoid richlite fingerboard .
There's a similar one for sale on Reverb for £4K, which is way more than I'm personally willing to drop on a guitar, but if I had the cash I'd have snapped it up already.
The pre custom shop custom Les Paul's seem to list around 3k upwards these days. I managed to snag a 92 "prehistoric" custom in black for 3k, because the electrics and pickups had been messed with a bit. Thankfully it's a lot lighter than my old 89, which must have been a 11 pounder. Will not be letting this one go, prices are getting stupid.
Maybe just save a search on eBay for customs and check daily, and hopefully you'll jump on one that's been listed at a reasonable price like I did (not that reasonable really, but in relation to today's prices...). Good luck!
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
