Please help, '69 LPC black beauty value

kith · 08-30-2009, 08:55 AM

Hi guys,
hope this is the right forum to start this.
What do you guys think, how much is a '69 black beauty worth approx? Guitar is all original, pretty good condition. Few dings and dongs, beltbuckle rash. One tuner is slightly bent. Body is single piece, 3pc neck, No volute.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

There seems to be quite a big difference in asking prices nowdays ... Here are a few Ebay 69 LP listings to give you an idea

Yeah the differences make it hard to decide. The 19k USD one is probably never gonna sell I guess.

The one I'm looking at is slightly more "worn" than the one in the third link. I forgot to mention the original case is missing. Seller is also asking abit more than that one. I've thought about going with the ebay one but customs/duties would spoil the fun

Geez, its driving me nuts. I'm SOOO undecided on what to do :S

Maybe I should stop buying guitars or even thinking about them and just have more practice

Assuming its all original....you are looking approximately 5-6000 in that condition. They aren't fetching the big bucks they used to. I would say 5500 is a good price.

Thanks for your help.
I'm still undecided. Asking price is alot more. Granted its in europe... but still...

Cheers
