Caolan96 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 hello guys, I'm new to the forum, Im 13 and own 3 epis, a '56 GT Les Paul, Zakk Wylde Bullseye Les Paul, and an ebony dot. anyway the thing is I've been offered a wine red '78 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe in good condition, it plays beautifully and has excellent mini humbuckers, it's got some dings on the back , and some little chips on the front, what I'm wondering is would there be anyway to fix these imperfections and is £1400 a good price for this guitar,? I will have to sell my '56 Goldtop to help with the cost of this, also will the deluxe appreciate in value over time? Regards, Caolán. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the 56 GT the the 78 Deluxe will never be in the same ball park value wise. That is if the 56 is an original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam in alberta Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Sorry I misread your original post, thought you had three epi,s plus three gibsons, then i reread the post. moving from epi's to gibsons isn't a bad way to go . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak show Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hey Caolán, welcome to the forum! I think you would get more response from the other members, if you posted in the "Les Paul" section or the "Lounge". This place doesn't see nearly as much action.

KL Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've been offered a wine red '78 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe in good condition' date=' it plays beautifully and has excellent mini humbuckers, it's got some dings on the back , and some little chips on the front, what I'm wondering is would there be anyway to fix these imperfections and is £1400 a good price for this guitar,?[/quote'] £1400 is a good price for a '78 Les Paul Deluxe in the UK. They are good guitars. I have a '75 goldtop deluxe. As far as the dings on the back and front go I would not worry about trying to have them repaired. Mine has quite a few dings too. They will not affect the sound or playability, and so I would leave it as it is. I hope you are able to get it. Please put some pictures up if you do.
