pippy Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yup. Gorgeous. If I ever decide to get a LP Custom again it will have to be an R4. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american cheez Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 i know a guy with an early 70's (i think) lp custom. he just had it re fretted. he's also had 3 neck breaks. it's been his gigging guitar since new. there's alot of missing paint, and gouges and scratches, etc. you could offer him any guitar under the sun and he wouldn't trade it. he'd sooner give you one of the kids.

pippy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks, Deeman, for putting Mr. Lunan's snaps up. I like the page / entry in the ledger! How Cool is That?!?!?!? And the guitar really is in fantastic condition. What's the story here? Did you ever find out WHY the guitar spent the lion's share of 60 years in a basement? Again; many congrats, JL. Pip.

eldorado2001 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I really admire the way he takes a beautiful old guitar like that and plugs it into a fuzz-box to make it sound like any $50 POS so we don't think there's anything special about it. Pip. Yes, what you said. ^^^^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glp2012 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well, $472 in 1956 is $4,214 in 2017 dollars (adjusted for inflation). The original owner must have been pretty well off because the average yearly income in 1956 was about $3,500...that's about 13% of his income, before taxes. That is one expensive guitar!

Ess Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 ... play it welland often Well, we can only guess how much it is worth, but my advice would be... don't dare play it! And I hope guitar values keep going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
