cxerphax Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Well either in 2008 or 2009 I decided I was going to get a job at the age of 15 or 16 to buy a Gibson Les Paul Classic. Im still not great at guitar and lately havent been playing much. Right now its on ebay and the starting bid is 1150, I spent 2089 when it was brand new. Its my understanding this guitar is discontinued so if I sell it, thats it, no replacement, ever possibly of the same classic model. Its got 4 days left and lately thats been eating at me, that its irreplaceable. Should I end my listing and keep it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 If its paid for .. why sell it.. put it in the closet and it will stay nice and safe..when you get back to it (and you will) you'll have a good guitar to setup and go again. Try explaining to your wife why you need a $2000 guitar.. You'll regret it. just read the posts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxerphax Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Plus the only reason im selling it is because I need fast money for something. I also think at the moment its too much guitar for my skill level, like I dont deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauloon Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 my advice (for what it's worth).....unless it's a life or death issue...DON'T SELL..., i sold a classic once,regretted it the next day!.......BUT...... scrolling through e-bay one day........THAT'S MY GUITAR!..... Bought it back....... lost £300 on the deal, but got MY guitar back.. never again. You'll lose a friend... These things OWN YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Keep it For the HUGE £600-700 loss you'll make its definately not worth it, PLUS Uk shippers don't cover instruments over £100 so if its broken your F##### Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Plus the only reason im selling it is because I need fast money for something. I also think at the moment its too much guitar for my skill level, like I dont deserve it. Well (for what it's worth), I've always felt it's better to grow into a guitar (skill wise) than out of one. Less expensive, in the long run, too. But, there are a lot of Les Paul models still in production, and the "Traditional" is a very worthy "replacement," for the "Classic," should you go ahead and sell the Classic, and want another similar guitar, later. So...??? Whatever your heart tells you, is what you should do. If it feels wrong, and you think you'll really regret it, then don't sell. But, only you can know that, for sure.

NoFrills Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 If you have ANY sentimental attachments to your guitar, DO NOT SELL. I did that with my first electric, man it's a piece of ****, badly molded machine heads, in fact one has a hole in it from not molding properly and the strings are off to one side so they do not line up over the pickups at all. I think the neck is also warped. Yet I still bought it back for more than what I sold it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjmwrx Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Keep it. For a LP of that nature, I would rather donate a kidney, blood, or my seed. Is being a gigolo an option? Know any rich old ladies that need love? I'm sure your getting all of our points now. You will regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 It still hasn't sold? He must be like those Firebird VII guys, keeps jacking the price up whenever someone inquires about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that generally, forums expect users to search for existing threads before they begin 'duplicate ones. However, it seems that its always new members that do this.
