Es maniac Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 And this is one of my beauties... 81' Gibson les paul Heritage 80 Elite. Shaw pafs...ebony board... crazy quilted maple top. The first 59 reissue attempted by Gibson. A great GREAT guitar ! 2 serial numbers ,chery sunburst. But when i bought it (i gave a BAD 79 candy apple red Strat +150$ back in 2000,i think of it as a bargain!) the trus rod cover was the one you see. The original one should write : GIBSON HERITAGE 80 ELITE SERIES ...this one just says "standard" Propably the guy who had it b4, took the cover off and put it to another gibbo to get higher price. Anyway, if you know how i can find its original cover ,i would be gratefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 There are a few people on eBay that do custom engraved TR covers, so you could have one made for the guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I recommend this guy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110636740922?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1277wt_1163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Most towns have trophy shops. I've been getting my truss covers and fender neckplates initialed for decades at local trophy shop(s). It isn't expensive at all. Don't need no steenkeeng booteek custom guy to do it! rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Es maniac Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 thx guys, i will try rct's solution first, if it doesnt work, i'll order it on ebay. thx again ! Oh, can you plz give me a rough estimate of how much my guitar is worth now? It is in pristine condition, no dinks and scratches ,only one very very shallow buckle scar at the back,but not to the wood, the nitro is still there.

Gary Moore Tribute Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 A quick check gave me this: http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/historics-reissues/120648-1982-heritage-80-lp-goldtop-need-help.html Value of $3,000 - $4,000 seems to be what its worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
