Hello! I’ve been offered to buy this Les Paul. Can some experts give me their opinion on this? It is lacking the COA and original case, but the seller states it’s an 1957 VOS Custom Shop. Serial number is 762251 What will be a fair price for this one? It’s listed at about 3400 USD. Edit: edited the question. Thanks!

Thanks! The price was good, but there is often possible to get a good deal on used guitars where I live. Just picked up a mint condition Martin HD-35 for 2650 usd, 10 years old. There is also an Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop goldtop 54 reissue in good condition for 2800 usd that I’m considering🙈

The guitar just arrived! Looks good, plays like a dream and sounds amazing! No dents or deep stratches at the front. A quick polish and this will look like new. Noticed the binding at the neck has what looks like paint on it. Isn’t that normally removes after painting, or is it part of the VOS/reissue thing?

Hmm… I have never seen a cheaper CS 58 than the one I bought for 2900. eBay have several 58s between 3500 and 4500

Thanks for the input guys! I decided to go for the Custom Shop. I guess It’ll be easier to sell this one without a loss then a brand new one if it turns out it’s not the one for me. Super excited! Will post pictures when I get it in a few days.

Hello there! I would love to get some input here. I’m about to buy a Les Paul. I have been looking at a brand new Les Paul Standard 60s. It’s about 2500USD where I’m from. But I also got the chance to go for a 2014 Custom Shop Les Paul Reissue 1958, for 29000USD. The CS looks to be in very good condition. Normally I tend to prefer smaller necks, but I also enjoy chunkier necks. I know the bran new one have the option to split the humbucker to single coil. Does the CS have that feature? Does anyone have any thoughts on this decision? Thanks!
