RickGP Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hunting ebay (as I always do) came across a 2014 gibson LPM under "for parts , not working" listed AS IS , so like many people , I was wary . But I needed a gibson for my collection . I managed to snag it for 450 bucks ! And when I got it , the MinETune system wasn't working :( messed with it for about half an hour (I'm NOT an electrician) and managed to fix it with two pieces of tape ! It was just a connectivity problem , I figure someone jammed the battery in backward and spread the internal parts just enough to mess it up , pretty good deal on my part !

Rabs Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 **pic didn't load , here she is love it.. love the colour and everything.. The ONLY thing is I think that model has a 50s neck and prefer the slimmer ones, but that's it (and that's just me :)) Also if you want to post better pics, upload them to http://www.photobucket.com and use the IMG link it gives you once uploaded (10 per post max) (its what most of us on here use and you have much more space to use).

Cougar Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hunting ebay (as I always do) came across a 2014 gibson LPM under "for parts , not working" listed AS IS , so like many people , I was wary . I should say so! But yeah, depending on where the bid was.... messed with it for about half an hour (I'm NOT an electrician) and managed to fix it with two pieces of tape ! It was just a connectivity problem... And that was it? Wow! pretty good deal on my part ! Yeah, like 60% off a new price. Don't you just love a good ebay deal?

Cougar Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey Bob, cool gif or whatever that is. I noticed the quote in your sig. I've got that in my list of quotes, but with another author's response: "The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us." [Paul Valery] "Take heed." [Tony Rothman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember where I first saw it ... thanks for the reminder as it's time to freshen up quotes a bit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
