Can't image spending that on a guitar, but on a Les Paul,not a Special,nice condition, you can add about 100K plus that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I know a guy here who's dad has a 1957, he's the original owner under the bed,, guess the kids will fight over that one

One went up on the Knoxville Craigslist for....

$250.00

(No typo)

I got through to him a few minutes ago. He said it sold for $2000. I don't know if this was a real opportunity or not but........

One site I found said $240,000.00 to 420,000.00 :eek:

Damon,
good question, I was referring to a Goldtop,"assuming" not a Custom,since most call those SG's even though they weren't until a certain period,the Deluxe wasn't until 69 or so Correct/ So maybe i'd go $550

Yeah Randy, but on this one I would have been able to get my hands on it since it was local.

I do have my doubts that it was real though.

Could have been a reissue, which are nowhere close to the originals. They can be had in the $2k range.

Total scam. No one with enough savvy to negotiate their way around a keyboard (even badly) wouldn't be stupid enough to list a guitar like that without doing at least a basic amount of research via Google or whatever.

58 would have been a sunburst and there would be five 00000's in the number.
They did do a 58 RI not so long ago.
Sounds like it's all spoo anyway.

My friend bought '58 Les Paul for about $30,000, but i don't know what color since he plays it every day and night and doesn't pick up the phones.

Well, if he plays it every day for the next 10 years, it will have cost only $10 per day.

I spend that at Starbucks!

I guess I need to go buy me a $30k guitar now that I can justify it.

I'm really happy that the guitar shop where I tried to sell my 69 Guild...15 years ago suggested that I instead just have it setup and keep it.



He'll probably end up with it.
