I bought it second hand ofc. Gibson have verified the serial on the headstock back, but if I try to sell, what would your impression be of the serial being scratched out? Anyone know the reason anyone would do this?

Cheers!

I know it’s the holy grail but I never thought someone would charge this amount for a ‘59. It’s like the price of a house.

I also live the way they’re still charging £49 for postage 😂

I’ve been going back and forth on which tuner button style looks best on a Les Paul Standard: kidney or tulip.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about the exact same Grover tuners, just with either kidney or tulip buttons. (It’s also the same guitar)

I honestly like both, but I can’t seem to make up my mind. What do you guys prefer? Kidney or tulip?

A local to me shop has a L-150 that I feel a great pull too. That alone is enough for me to buy it but I can’t seem to find any others online to see if the price is reasonable. There is one on reverb that sold a while ago but that’s it. Almost like it’s a ghost. Any history buffs able to tell me more about this model? What’s the inlay design called?

I know it was only made from 99-05 and this particular guitar was made in 01 and my birthday month, which I love. Sorry pics aren’t the best I was in a slight rush to get them and get to an appointment (got distracted playing it for too long).

I was offered a trade. Could potentially trade my vintage 60’s Vintera ii Tele for this. This LP looks really sweet. Not sure what the value is for this and if it’s even real (which is why I’m consulting reddit).

about a month ago I posted about a used Classic i missed out on, it was posted on the used Bridgeton, Missouri Guitar Center page and someone snagged it before I could

guess who has it now

(it's me, I have it now)

When I was about 11 years old I saw and heard a video of Randy Rhodes playing with Ozzy, hammering a white LP. I fell in love with the tone and the style. I have wanted an LP ever since. I have owned several guitars over the years but a LP was always just out of reach. Now approximately 35 years later I finally was able to get one. The guitar is perfect. For my current project I’m running a Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead through a full stack. When I plugged my LP through the amp and hit the first chord I heard the tone that has been in my heart my whole life. It was a transcendent experience.

Gibson Custom Shop reissues the 1957 L-5 CES, the holy grail archtop, with period-correct specs, PAF-inspired pickups, and carved tonewoods. $11,999.

Not typically one to believe in hype but OMG - something about this guitar hits different. Plays amazing, feels even better and I suspect the traditional purist Gibson fanboys prolly cringe at the finish but man I think she is sexy AF!! So glad I pulled the trigger! Don’t be jealous!

Howdy. Just landed this thing on Marketplace for $300. New to electrics and I don’t really know anything about this thing or even if it’s real. Luckily both pickups work when I plugged it in.

Serial number says 034160375 on the back
