Sgt. Pepper Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I saw on that pawn show, Les Paul’s nephew came in with a white SG and tried to sell it. He’s probably a degenerate gambler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I liked Mary Ford. She was a a rare talent, with a lot of problems. Like all of my women who have come and gone, now that I think on it. 🤫 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted more $ and then Rob or Rick or whatever his name is was not going to give him what he wanted for it. Edited June 3, 2023 by Sgt.

Whitefang Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 They never do. But watch the clip all the way and you'll see they both agreed to $90,000. Ford's nephew originally asked for $250,000! Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Weird that Mary's nephew would go to a pawn shop with it. As the auction showed, he blew a quick $20K by not selling it himself. Oh well, locked away now in the Gibson vault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimt Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The Mary Ford Les Paul was on Ebay 20 plus years ago for a hefty sum. Along with a Les Paul that was apparently owned Les Paul himself . They were also in the vintage sellers monthly magazine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 LOL, I remember that episode too... I have never considered in my life going to a pawn shop to sell - and to come up good on the deal. People who want money from a pawn shop I have to believe are more desperate for the money than someone who knows what they have, then try to make the best avenue to get the most value for a transaction. I liked the comment on the link shared above. Someone congratulated Mark for locking up a guitar that will do nothing else than collect dust. Here it is: "And, this is what I really don't like...manufacturers which repurchase instruments and put them in a "vault" where they shall never be enjoyed or played again by human hands. Good job, Mark!" lol! Iconic!!! I can't wait to have them anal-yze this guitar and sell a replica/reissue for $50k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
