zombiebear Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks to everyone who helped me try to find a green les paul. Well last night after a horrible day at work, i come home to find a 2000 Gibson Studio in Green on CL. I called the guy, and today i picked it up. The guitar and case for 500 bucks. The price might be a tad high, but i wanted the color. :] I don't know how to post pictures from my computer on here D: If someone could help me, i would gladly post pictures.

Shnate McDuanus Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 $500? If it's in good condition (and it looks great,) then that's quite the steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson4life Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 That's a great deal. Used Gibson are usually $700-900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 You have a 2000 Les Paul Studio. The finish is pretty unpopular. I believe the pickups are a 490r (rythm) and 498t (treble) assuming they're stock. These are a good set of pickups IMO. I absolutely love the 490r in my SG. It has a nice full, round sound with a nice low end. With overdrive or distortion, it's very smooth and creamy (especially with the tone rolled back). The 498t sounds good but I swapped mine out. I thought a different pickup could sound better and it did. It's a fine pickup though and I could totally live with it. How's the guitar? Looks a little beat up. $500 is a fair price.

Multiple knicks, and its got a bit of arm wear on the top. Headstock has a knick on it. But honestly, i couldn't pass this offer up, green is my favorite color, and i would not settle for any other color. So it was worth it to me :] Amazing Forum, btw. Great guys, i come from "Strat Talk" forum, and i found this an easy transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarJunkie Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Welcome, and nice guitar. You got a great deal. I also like the color. It's a refreshing change from all of the wine red and Ebony LP Studios. Not that I mind those colors. It's just nice to see some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah, great deal! Case looks good, and unless the guitar has serious issues it's well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Congratulations and welcome to the forum. I agree, you got a sweet deal on that Lester. The top looks like it may be birdseye maple. Can you post some more pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'd just like to add my congrats for a great find! I like the rarity aspect of the finish. Studio's are highly regarded instruments 'round these parts. At $500 with case it's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiebear Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 I do have a question, not sure if you can see the case very well in the picture, but it is the original case with pinkish/purple lining. This case has a 3 digit combo lock. Is there anyway to reset the combo? Because i don't know the combo, nor did the previous owner =( If not, i will have to remove the lock because if i accidentally hit that on something and lock it, i will be FURIOUS >_< Thanks. btw the guitar, plays amazingly. Just a few minor defects, as in cracked pickguard, but i took that off and may replace it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
