The Mick Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 He bought it at Rocklys That means he paid at least 10% over list. I hate that place. Looks like a good deal for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Good deal. "This is a 1960 reissue." - This part isn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yeah, that's a decent deal. I've seen new Classics in the $1,500 range here and there, but usually around $1,700 is a good new price. Gibson really played fast and loose with the whole "reissue" thing over the last 30 years so confusion is normal. They had the headstock and slimmer neck of the original 1960, many had a "1960" pickguard on them. Beyond that, it's simply a Les Paul with ceramic pickups and some greenish-looking inlays. Those pickups and the skinny neck drove many LP purists away, so the price stayed lower. I say put whatever pickups you want in it (BB Pros for mine) and enjoy. If I did it over again, I would put 57 Classic/Classic Plus pickups in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
