deygibson Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hey there, I'm hoping you guys can help. I bought a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Classic second hand in 2010 for £1399 from a music shop. I think the guitar was made in 1998, as it had a YZ on the headstock, but not sure. I stupidly sold the guitar due to it giving me back problems, but I would like another Classic now. I'm a bit cautious with buying from eBay or Reverb, so would rather buy it from a shop. I've attached photos of the guitar , so you may be able to get the correct year. Can anyone recommend a dealer that might have one in stock? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I had a classic LP. Can't remember what year. It had 1960 engraved on the pickguard. Great axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were called something different (?) and were better. The closest I ever came to buying a Les Paul was one of those from early-mid 90's on eBay. I should have done it. The thing had been well used and abused by a semi pro, but it was just how I pictured a Les Paul I'd have as a live gig player guitar. Still wish I'd bought the thing....

Retired Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I was 13 when my cousin started teaching me to play. He played just a while with the Rumbles and I never saw his name as getting recognition for it, he was kicked out of the band. He had a gorgeous black Gibson with white trim & gold hardware. I remember pricing one way back in 1966 which they wanted an arm & a leg for. I was going to buy his when he was finished with it. Never happened. He got ill and was in a wheel chair and was married, his wife divorced him and kept his guitar. He had no use for it but wanted it back which she refused. I offered to pay for it but she said no. She never played and had no use for it either. Too bad? He has been long gone for many years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
