He's lucky he wasn't holding it at the time :D
Even if it was repaired it would never sound any good, the timber will be dead

:eek: $795??? You're all missing the point. It has rarity value. How often does a struck-by-lightning Les Paul come on the market. |

You're all missing the point Ummmm, I don't think so. In this crowd, no one wants to buy a completely worthless git at any price near that bid.
Now, maybe after several generations, a grand/great relative might be interested. Whoever bid $795 has a completely different thought process than most... :eek: |

| Wouldn't want it if you gave it to me (it'd take up too much room in my trash container)
As of this writing, the bidding is up to $1259.56.
SOMEbody's economy is doing just fine. |

Now if the Lightning had struck when my Ex was holding it the dang thing would be in a case with lighting and "Ding Dong, the witch is Dead" playing somberly when you pushed the button...
