MissysDad Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi Folks, I am going through some of my deceased fathers things and i came across a nice looking guitar. I tried to look it up online to get an idea of what the model is or what it is worth, but I cannot seem to find anything. I am pretty sure this was purchased through Musiciansfriend.com? I looked up the serial number, but that didn't give me much useful information. Thanks for any help you can give.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissysDad Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 I thought i could upload more pictures, i guess theres no way to add more though, what a bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickyPick Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 That's an Epiphone Les Paul Custom... but which variation i don't know. It could be the regular Custom or if it has 3 pickups then it could be the Black Beauty 3, i need a picture of the Body but i'm fairly sure its one of the 2 i suggested, based off the head stock. As For what is worth try going to Ebay and just adverage out the prices of the model guitar you have... its usually how i get the price when i post things to sell.

MissysDad Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Well, I have been looking through a lot of pics and it looks exactly like the Les Paul Black Beauty, the only difference is mine does not say Les Paul on it. Sorry I couldnt post a pic of the body,but the website will not let you post more than 500k of pics. This does have the 3 pickups though and like I said is identical to the black beauty except it does not say les paul. I know it was purchased from a legitimate website though, musiciansfriend.com I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi MD, welcome to the forums, great bunch around here, I hope you like it. You can post as many pics as you want (10 per post I think) if you embed them, info on how to do that is at the top of the DIY thread pinned to the top of the Epi Lounge.

Black Beautys, like other Customs, do not have Les Paul on the headstock, they have the split diamond inlay like yours does. There is a good picture for you to compare with at Sweetwater: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ENBBEBGH Welcome to the board!

The Truss Rods all vary, some say Gibson, some say Black Beauty and some says Les Paul Custom but if it has 3 pickups then it is indeed the Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty and used that guitar ranges from $350-500 from what ive seen on Craigslist and Ebay... It all depends on Condition and Desirability. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_edward Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I paid $450 for the same used Korean custom (inc. ohsc), 2 pups in white, last year - it was worth every cent, best playing guitar in the house. They go for $700 new in the Toronto area, $400 to $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
