found a les paul

ChiroDoc78 · 08-21-2010, 09:41 AM

Been patient the past few weeks, debating over which LP I want. Finally settled on a 08 standard plus in the ice tea finish. Was considering a traditional, but the burstbucker pro pickups have a clarity that I love, and the guitar just feels right to me. Found a used one about 2 hours from me...price is $1799, I was going to try to walk away with it for $1650. For an 08, I think its a fair price...what do yall think about the price?

costpag82 · 08-21-2010, 09:46 AM

I got mine for 1850$. Its almost the same guitars and I am very happy with mine, so I say go on!

JIM'S GoldTOP · 08-21-2010, 09:57 AM

Go for it! And post some pics when you get it!

I thought you were going to say that you were walking along, maybe rummaging through someone's garbage and BAM found a Les Paul

I was thinking the same thing, but that it was probably a Chinese copy.

OP, I picked up an '09 Standard Plus last week and would easily pay $1800 for it. If you can get it for less, go for it!

'08 was a great year for gibson

. Totally it will be a prefect guitar. If it feels and sounds great, buy it.

That can be debated...

$1650 is a great price for if its nearly new.

dbenson32 · 08-21-2010, 05:16 PM

$1650 would be worthwhile surely.

ChiroDoc78 · 08-21-2010, 09:07 PM

I did it. Bought my first les paul! I went and looked at it, and played it...it is beautiful. Also, after getting a good look at it, it is a 2009, not a 2008! So, its only a year old! Having it setup and shipped to me on monday...(I'm in the process of a move, so I won't be in the area to pick it up). Will post pics when I get it.

Gretsch&Gibson · 08-22-2010, 12:09 AM

Nice work. Keep us posted. The only used Les Pauls I have seen around here are vintage ones worth a lot of $$$. I wish I could find a deal like that.

ChiroDoc78 · 08-23-2010, 02:36 PM

I feel lucky! Unfortunately, I didn't get it for $1650...with taxes, out the door it cost me closer to $1800. Another thing that stinks is that it won't arrive at my door until Thursday. If it werent a 3 hour drive in traffic, I'd just go pick it up. Oh Well.

ChiroDoc78 · 08-25-2010, 03:11 PM

UGGHHH! Still waiting. The manager who sold it to me said it was shipped yesterday, but I think he misled me...the tracking number on UPS said that Billing info has been received, so I think the info was sent to UPS, and it was physically put on a truck today. I'm only a couple hours away, so it'll only take a day to get here. I got a warm feeling when he said it was sent out yesterday thinking it would arrive today. Very Frustrating. I wanna ROCK!

ChiroDoc78 · 08-26-2010, 02:35 PM

Woo Hoo!! It arrived! Took a couple pics of the box and me opening it up, but will post up later. I'm gonna go downstairs and take a big drink of ICE TEA!! (Hopefully some of you get the humor in the fact that my new-to-me Les Paul is in Ice Tea finish.)

Jakeislove · 08-26-2010, 02:38 PM

Hopefully it doesn't need an adjustment.
