1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard on the Bay
$250,000 and free shipping.

1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (Jay Geils of J.Geils Band ) | eBay

The two PAF pickups, pots and caps are original to this guitar as are the pickup surrounds. The pick guard, stop tailpiece, bridge, tuners, truss rod cover, frets, rhythm/treble plate, knobs are not original to this instrument but are correct original , Gibson Guitar Company period pieces available in 1969 or before as there were no companies to our knowledge manufacturing aftermarket replacement parts .

Even comes with a headstock repair for extra mojo.

$250,000 for a repaired, 60% original guitar? No thanks. Even if it was left handed, I wouldn't spend two grand on it.

Give me a house for $250,000.

Wouldn't spend 2 grand on it? Sorry, but you sir, are an idiot. I saw this like a week ago, but it isn't worth $250,000 with that headstock repair.

Re: 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard on the Bay
As was mentioned in the other thread about this, the buyer probably posted this just to let people know that guitar is out there for sale. It priced too high cause the owner does not want it to sell and have to pay the bay the percentage they would get. I think...

Give you? No. I'll sell ya one, though. Shit, you buy that guitar for $2,000 you can turn around and get your house with a $50,000 mortgage.

You crazy or something?

Can you insure a guitar for $250K when shipping? Who would even consider shipping that??

That thing is beat to hell, and looks like crap. I'd take a new one any day.

Really though, the '60 burst for $120,000 looked to be in better shape.

If you actually gave him $250K for that thing, he'd probably walk it to your house if you asked him to. Price is definitely high, and I think the assessment that it's largely there just to notify folks that it's for sale is accurate.

I'm not sure when the whole business with "matched" pickups (meaning a more powerful pickup in the bridge than in the neck) started, but I'm thinking most production guitars made it through the '70's with the same pickup in each spot, perhaps even well into the '80's. I know there were folks that personally hotrodded their guitars, but I dunno when it became as standard to have two different winds as it is now.

That's what I always wondered about these vintage instruments on ebay. I can't see anyone doing an ebay transaction for over $10k or $15k and even then I would try to find another way to go about things. Could you imagine ebays final value fee if that baby sold? Holy cow..
