Tim Plains Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Hypothetically speaking, of course... What do you think Page's '59 burst, or Les Paul's Les Paul Recording, or Slash's actual '88 (I think) Standard would fetch if they were sold today? Other famous musicians LPs too, these were just the ones that came to mind.
daveinspain Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Page´s number 1..... Half a million or more... Most likely much more, just a plain old 59 can sell for as much as that.
Craig10119 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 You could buy page's les paul custom for about $2000... I mean the original, not the reissue. It was stolen. Can't imagine someone asking for a lot of money for it.
AXE® Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Page was offered $2,000,000.00 cash, and he respectfully declined.
Thundergod Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Is it just coincidence that you guys started this post and the "i just got page's lp"? I think Tim and Dave are up to something... better to keep an eye over this guys' ebay acounts!

myspace.com/jessenoah Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 how much did eric clapton get for his strat? i think it was like 900,000? so if a late 50s start usually goes for 40,000, thats more then a 200 percent price increase for being rockstar owned, considering that page's guitar goes for 400000 just for being a les paul, multiply by 300 percent because his guitar is even more iconic then claptons, my math comes out to 120 million? wait that cant be right o i guess it is so there it is, page's guitar could fetch 120 million
Thundergod Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I'll tell you this one thing... that guitar ended up as firewood long ago... I know it's sad and a waste but its the most probable outcome.
djroge1 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I'll tell you this one thing... that guitar ended up as firewood long ago... I know it's sad and a waste but its the most probable outcome. I don't know... I think it's in an old garage some place. There's a good chance that the person who stole it already died and their family doesn't even know it exists. That or they are waiting for Jimmy to pass away and then put it on the market.
cajunman831 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 If jimmy,s 59 was on the market,i think it would out sell any guitar money wise.
cajunman831 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Gary Rossingtons 59 would bring in some cash also.wow
KennyF Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 OK so here are my thoughts' date=' the only way these guitars have this huge bloated value is because of two things. One is collector value of the older instruments and Two they were owned by someone famous. From what I have read most of the older guitars still have all the quirks and issues as they did when they were made. I would rather spend my money on a updated version of the guitar and use the rest for a home, studio etc. Those old Strat were known for the 60cycle hum; the older Les Pauls had issues also. If you want a good guitar get a reissue etc not the original if your actually going to use it to play. If its going to be a garage queen then spend your money; but then again this is a what if thread and not real life. Thats my 2 cents worth.[/quote'] I agree! I've been saying this for years and the AVH's don't seem to understand where I'm coming from. I want a guitar that means something to "ME", not somebody else. A guitar that has my history, my memories, my wear, my sweat and blood... Besides, I'm old enough to remember when used 50's LP's were hanging on racks in dark and dingy places like Star Music in Morristown, NJ, and they were just another used guitar. Hey, I didn't want one then, and I certainly don't want one for $350,000.00.
