Tim Plains Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I understand the whole concept of "well, if the guitar costs $200,000..." or if you already have a '58 burst and are missing some parts...but the truth is vintage prices, and the people who pay them are retarded. What do you think? 1958 Les Paul Gibson Les Paul Rhythm Treble Ring Buy It Now Price: US $2,449.00 $2,450 will easily get you a used Gibson R8, or a LP Standard & Gibson Firebird, or three Vs, or a Strat & a Tele, or 32 Dean guitars. All of which will sound better than that treble ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I am going to ask them if this ring will fit my Les Paul Vintage Mahogany just to mess with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St James Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 HEY BUDDY PICK UP OR GO TO ONLINE VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE....THERE ARE PLENTY OF DEALERS THAT SELL VINTAGE PARTS AD NOTHING BUT VINTAGE PARTS. THAT PRICE SOUND WAY TO HIGH !!!! I CAN SEE 399.99 BUT NO WAY THAT AMOUNT YOU'LL GET DEALERS WITH GREAT REPS AT VINTAGE GUITAR MAG AND THERE MUST BE 20 DIFFERENT DEALERS SELLING NOTHING BUT PARTS. SHEESH I PAID ONLY 78.00 FOR A 57 PICKGUARD THAT IS ORIGINAL....SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE IS OUT TO MAKE A KILLING GETTING THE CORRECT PARTS WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE THE PRICE OF YOUR AX.....ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A TRUE 59 ER Nothing BEATS original parts BUT WHEN IT COMES TO AN original guitar IT'S THE SAME s a Corvette or Antique Motorcycle....even though ya may have period correct parts they prefer that the parts be the ones it came from the factory with, I have many tricks to help ya make solder joints looks 50 years old, and how to age certain other parts .Feel free to PM me or email me and I'll be happy to give ya the name of these suppliers and how to age the parts correctly. This will turn a 30 grand paul to a 75 grand paul !!! IF you rather not spend that kind of cash I can offer you a good price or a trade of a nice CUSTOM SHOP ax or whatever it takes to make the deal happen. It would be my pleasure to restore that ax correctly and if your not into it you get a great ax in return or cash !! I'm sure out of the 37 GIBBY's I have ONE HAS YOUR NAME ON IT !! Don;t get me wrong I would be just as happy to help ya get the parts and restore it for yourself but if cash is a problem than I'll help ya out by supplying you with the ax of your choice restorations are expensive...lots of guys abandon a project due to the cost to do it right,,,I have the time and experience as a Guitar tech of sorts. Which ever way ya wanna go. Have a great day...here's the address for VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE..... wwwvintageguitar.com You should be able to view the magazine without a subscription,,,,they have there commercial sales pages and then 4 pages of personal sales adds. we'll find what ya need St James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
