Simen Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) 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! Edited November 20, 2023 by Simen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The case doesn’t look right - can only see 4 latches when there should be 5. Also that sticker on the pick guard looks like it came from the far east. I’d pass because a real Gibson like that costs more than $3400 - even used.

Guest Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 From what I can see here, no warning signs. The sticker looks exactly like the ones that came on my reissues around 10-15 years ago. Very low tack, like a window sticker. Things that would help to be sure are shots inside the control cavity, neck pickup cavity and under the truss rod cover. That said, if I had to bet, I'd say the pics are of a genuine Gibson LP custom reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) If it is real new Custom Shop '57's are 6.8k. So that is half price. Edited November 22, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
