I decided to look up what sellers might be asking for a Gibson LPJ specifically the gold top. The cheapest LPJ I saw was just under $800 with no strings bridge or pickups, and couldn't even find a gold top listed. It's a little more rare because buyers had to pay a premium for the gold top about $200 more than the other LPJ s wich retailed for a little over $600 in Canada. Anyway, all the other LPJs I found are selling used on reverb for $1000 to $1500. Have these guitars been increasing in value or are these sellers dreaming? The whole point was to have a stripped down more affordable Gibson. If they are really selling at these prices how much would a gold top sell for on the used market?
