Gibson Les Paul Tribute to Les Paul UNLOADING guitars?

[johnnytuinals]

Seems like a nice guitar
I am not sure if they are unloading these since 400
were made in 2013.
But for the price it looks like a winner.............JT

Gibson Les Paul Tribute to Les Paul Electric Guitar with Case

Looks too oddball for me..... 2 grand will buy a good used R8 plain top.

 

[MSB]

they've been at that price for awhile now... i wouldn't say no to one, but won't say yes until it gets cheaper

Here's one on Reverb for $1850 shipped. I have no idea about the seller (other than in general I've had great buying experiences). https://reverb.com/item/1053868-new...edition-tribute-to-les-bullion-gold-hard-case

A shop I frequent has one still as new. They want around $2800 for it. So that is a pretty good price.

I wouldn't mind having one at the right price.

You could always refinish the headstock...

That would eliminate any possible collector value.

They weren't very sought after then, not very sought after now, but they'll possibly be a curiosity 20 or 30 years down the road. Unless you refinish the headstock.

I kinda like the slightly different look, and as previously stated down the road it could be of interest to collectors.
$166 a month? Hmmmmm.....

Looking at guitars lately since the end of the year sales should be popping up soon.
I like these for the P90s with orange Drop capacitors
The headstock looks pretty cool
But think you can find 15% off coupons online to even make the guitar $300 cheaper.
For $1700 I might take a second look.......JT

I have frequent flyer miles on AMS and been seeing this for a while. I think its cool but dont have an open wall to hang an unusable Les Paul myself.

 

[Badlionsfan]

What makes it unusable?

What makes it unusable?

Collector value

 

[02589]

You'd really have to really want one bad and have $2 grand laying around to buy that.

I'm sure it's perfect for some of us. Obviously not perfect enough for 400 of us.

 

[donnycraven]

What makes it unusable?

For me the fact that it is an extreme collectors item. I would not want to take it on the road to get beat up. Hence a wall hanger or case warmer.

 

[donnycraven]

Don't get me wrong I think it is super cool.

 

[Badlionsfan]

I can see not taking it out of the house, but I'd play it, with some kind of plastic protector over that pickguard.
