letchworth40 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hey everyone. New member here about to get my first Les Paul. Have way too many strats and only strats and have been wanting a gibson for awhile now. Someone offered this LP to me for one of my strats this morning and I just need to know what to look for when I look over a LP. I know to look for previously broken head stocks and cracks and what not. Heard about way too many clones to be comfortable with going used for my first LP. From what I have been told it was refretted around 5 years ago and has a new bone nut and grover tuners. Heres a few picturs of the LP Im interested in. Looks like its in great shape for its age. Please look hard LP guys and please tell me its all real =D>/ =P~/ =P~/ 1979 Les Paul Custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Looks nice to me.... What are you trading for it? Be specific... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 It has a three piece top and is a Norland era guitar... Some people like them others look down on them. You need to play it and see if it play, sounds and feels good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letchworth40 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Im trading an American Deluxe Ash Strat. Is sharing its time with other strats so it is showing no wear and is basically new. Probably woudn't trade if it was my only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letchworth40 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ah... Well instead of jumping out and posting this I should have searched a bit. Found a lot of good information previously posted on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Do it. Trade the Strat for the Gibson. That's a Sweet Trade in your Favor. The Gibby looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Loose the Strat...DO NOT look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Get the LP. I have an American Standard Strat and it is the least played guitar that I own. I will always go to my LP or my SG when I want to play and enjoy. I have a Fender Telecaster and the Strat but they lack something compared to playing my Gibsons. If this guy is trading you straight up you should jump at the chance unless you have a very vintage Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosauria Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 If you like it go for it. Try and have a really good go on it first though. I've played quite a few 70s ones that are truly awful. A friend of mine got a 70s LP Custom for £550, which is incredibly cheap here (UK) but it weighs about the same as a planet, isn't very well put together and it sounds dead when you play it unplugged and that carries forth when amped. With any guitar I feel it's very important to play it unplugged first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
