Guest ugp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'll make this advert brief, if anyone is interested please get in touch. Price is negotiable, however I'm looking for around £40,000. If your reading this advert then chances are, you will know how special this guitar is. Although not the more desirable 1955 model, its a late 1954 (serial number & validation report available on request), and its considerably cheaper (some go for £60,000. There are very minor marks on the body, however this guitar is 57 years old. This guitar is my pride and joy, very reluctant sale, however due to a new business venture, needs must. Apologies about the crappy photo's, I'm away at the moment and don't have access to take new ones. These were taken around April time this year.

Lbm Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just to be clear, you're saying you'd like forty thousand pounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 considering that some sale threads here off late seem to fall through over two pounds this should make for an interesting sale thread. BTW: the guitar looks gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just to be clear, you're saying you'd like forty thousand pounds? Yes, thats right. See link below for a (slightly out of date) price guide. Prices have gone up approx 10% since. http://vintage-guitars.blogspot.com/2005/12/gibson-les-paul-goldtop.html Edit: Also, here is a 1956 model on ebay for a fiver short of £50k. This being a late 54 is worth less. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIBSON-LES-PAUL-1956-GOLD-TOP-/260794667323?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cb892d13b#ht_1711wt_905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: the guitar looks gorgeous. Yeh I've noticed, its advertised on various classic guitar forums too, had lots of interest, but I thought I would post it up on here also.

James Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Is it 100% original? I would get onto the Gibsoncustom and Les Paul forum (if you haven't already), would attract the right crowd I'll mention it in work tomorrow (work in a guitar shop) and see if the boss is interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyh_15 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Priorities do change but on another note do you need an assistant to teach whatever you do for a job as I would like to have 40k to spend on a guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
