Tober Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Over the winter I got my les Paul classic. I got it from a guy on craigs list. He told my that he stopped playing guitar and started playing bass for his band. The guitar was sitting in a beat up case. When I opened the case you tell it hadn't been Played in a long time. There was sweat grim all over the fret board and sweat marks were caked on the body. It also was screaming for a set up. He wanted $1400 for it but over email talked him down to a $1000. When i saw the guitar in person I offered $800 for it. We agreed on the $800 and I walked out with the Paul. Got it home and knew that it only need a cleaning and set up and since I could do all that, no problem. Took a while to clean it up but she did shine right back up. There were only a few nicks in it and the back has a little belt rash but nothing to bad. I have wanted this model for a long time and was disappointed when Gibson stopped making this one. When I had the funds to buy a new one there was none to be found and I hate the traditional. That money went to my PRS sunburst 22 with the pauls finish. The LP sounds great, I don't know why people are so down on the classic. Bottom line I got mine for $800 when it shoiuld have gone for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
