lpfan Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I don't know if you guys can help but I have a 201 Gibby LP Special that my wife purchased from musicians friend. She paid around $900.00 for it. It has a set neck and is in mint condition. When I tried to price it in a guitar price guide I could not find the LP Special for that year. Can anyone help with some info on the guitar? I have heard some people say around $350.00. Would a Gibby drop in value that much? I know that since then the LP studios have become available but the LP Special is now the Special II. I even think that they look and feel different but maybe I am just biased because I love my first Gibby.
sexygibson Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I would give you $350 for it TODAY. That would be a heck of a deal for someone. I would say, realistically, that you could expect to fetch $450-$550 on Ebay for this model.
lpfan Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Is that really you holding the guitar or just a picture you liked. If it really is you, WOW! NICE!!!LOL!
sexygibson Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Uh; calm down brother. That is not me. That is just a promotional photo from Epi. I like your attitude though.
brianh Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I don't see the new Specials in the '09 Blue Book. In the '09 Vintage Price Guide they are going for $800 up to 1998. But nothing on the more recent years. On eBay, they seem to be priced at between $350 to $750, depending on conditon, OHSC, case candy, etc. Sorry, best I can do on short notice. BTW, this is a REAL picture of me: No really, it is!
lpfan Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 LOL! You guys are great! Thanks for all the info and laughs!
