Guitar Center has this guitar for $399. It comes with a case.

It is listed as in fair condition because it has had a headstock repair.

Great deal, I’d get it if it plays well and the repair is well done.

Thanks! I bought and and had them ship it to my local GC so if there is a problem I can just cancel the order.

Studios of that period had a nice chunky C neck and were feather weight due to the weight relief, some had burstbuckers and were all round great guitars. Congrats!

Silverburst and tobaccoburst are the only two acceptable Les Paul bursts, so you made a good choice WTR :wink: nice find!

The coil tapped Gibson’s are usually only on the newer models. I’m a huge silverburst fan. If it comes with the Gibson case it’s a deal. I’m always wary of headstock repairs tho.

Thanks,My guitar is coming to the Guitar Center near me today but it is too cold to get it(-18F). I think i will just let it thaw out in the back room at GC for 24 hours before I pick it up.

So I go to GC to pick up the guitar today and when we open up the shipping carton there is an Epiphone triangle shaped box inside. I say that can't be it,where is the case? When we open the box the Les Paul is inside but after I look at the headstock repair I tell them I don't want it. It looks like an amateur job so I just cancelled the order and got a refund. Here's where the story ends.

If that's the case, I'm glad it didn't work out. You'll have to compensate by going on a gear splurge.

Sorry it didn't work out. You've seen more guitars than I'll ever be able to. If there's anyone who can tell a bad guitar from a worthy one it's you
