LSAR Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 $350 and below is a good price used. $600 is more than new. Unless there are better pics, avoid it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopcicle Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 We would need better pics and to know what standard it is? Currently new in the US, the LP standard plain top retails @399.99 the plus top @ 499.99 and there was a year or two ago a tribute standard which is akin to the current 1960 tribute plus top. If it is the Tribute it has excellent electronics in it and may be worth around his asking price if its in excellent condition as Musicians Friend is selling used in only good condition for just over $500. If you can afford his prices might I suggest forgetting this private sale all together and just picking up a new Epi tribute plus top. Brand new with warranty and store return policies it retails for $599.99 US with hard case included and is one hell of a guitar! http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/epiphone-les-paul-tribute-plus-electric-guitar and here is a Canadian link to lone and mcquade http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/16713/Guitars/Electric/Epiphone/Les_Paul_Tribute_Plus_-_Midnight_Sapphire.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 he sells it for $600? what's the ordinary price for it? Can't tell the model from the bad pics.....Looks like a plain top, no binding..... Those sell, well, IMHO, $225.00 to $300.00 tops..........$299.00 to $399.00 ish new......... I just bought this for $250.00.......... .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL1132 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 thank you everybody for the reply but he said the pick up is gibson 490T one pickup gibson 490T cost $100 I think right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL1132 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 from the first time, I wanted to trade it with my IBANEZ JEM SERIES Steve Vai edition then I refused to trade and asked to buy it and he said it would be $600 and low as $500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 thank you everybody for the reply but he said the pick up is gibson 490T one pickup gibson 490T cost $100 I think right? About that, NEW......Those aren't their best pickups.....Regular Gibby pickups sell for about HALF of the new price when used..... So, IF that guitar has TWO REAL Gibby pickups, they add SOME value.....ALWAYS demand to see pics of the backside of the pickups..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL1132 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 I asked him to take pics of the pickup as well thank you very much cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
