SOLD: 2001 Gibson Les Paul Standard Honeyburst refin £1150
What's Hot
My pal asked me to find him a great Les Paul standard that was not too pricey, and this was it as far as I was concerned. However, due to a recent change in his financial situation, it is up for grabs.
http://imgur.com/gallery/0RMkoVvSuffered the classic Gibson headstock break, but not too severe. Previous owner knew this guitar was too special to give up on and the luthier agreed. It was a great era for Les Pauls! Gibson were on the case. This has been expertly repaired and is now rock solid. It has had a full processional refinish so you cannot see it. Had I not known, I would swear this was a 2001 Les Paul in amazing condition.
This plays phenomenally well. The nashville bridge was upgraded to an abr-1 from an r9 at the same time, and the tailpiece is a locking Tonepros item. Comes with original pink lined case which is also in top condition.
£1150 collected or £1175 shipped. No trades.

What break?
10 lbs according to my bathroom scales...this was before the dark days of chambered bodies of course. And complete refinish, done professionally.
As the honourable gent @gazrichards has pointed out, not gonna make anything once you take into account of haggling, insured couriers, overdraft fees. As in...nothing.
Good luck with the sale.
Agree with all that and dont forget his on stage dancing / swaying either - talented on so many levels :-)
or reinvest that profit into buying something off another fretboarder and then any haters will have less reason to be dicks about it. Recirculate the wealth!
I could give you examples of trades or things I have sold on here last 12 months, where I have lost a hundred or two. Win some, lose some. Which is why myself and @DrCornelius are planning to write a book, working title "How to Maintain a Healthy Marriage Whilst Haemorrhaging Money on Guitars."
Tell you what...for the sake of transparency I will accept an offer of £1200 for this, shipped. If anyone choses to pay £1250, I will donate £50 to a charity nominated by the buyer.
