i need words of wisdom from experienced gibson guys please !!

 

my first post , so dont be too brutal :)

 

i'm looking at buying a les paul for my next guitar .

it will get gently played , but just displayed most of the time .

hence value , and depreciation are the key points in my purchase (flames expected)

 

i have found a guy selling part of his collection , and he has 3 lespauls i'm interested in ....

all are in mint condition , as good as new .

so price compared to buying a new one is important .

bigger saving = better buy !!

 

LesPaul Classic 1960 (Black) 03

Les Paul Deluxe (Wine Red) 04

Les Paul 56 Gold Top CS 04

 

which would you buy ??

( if any )

What color is you wall that you will be displaying it on? Perhaps that should guide your purchase.

 

I think I would go for the gold top.

 

By the way, how do you know that these three guitars are legit?

legit is the big issue because those seem like inexpensive prices for each of those guitars.

 

Are they Gibsons or Epiphones?

 

Were they made in America or China?

My 2 cents:

 

Find out if the guitars are real (even if the goldtop is a RI, it's still really cheap) and if they are, get the goldtop. Then change your name on the forums so Ian doesn't beat you with a toaster.

The most important factor is making sure the color doesn't clash with the drapes.

It breaks my heart that these music machines would end up as mere ornaments.

hate to be a downer but none of those guitars are from the 1956-60 era.

 

if that were the case ,I have a 1959 flametop that I will cut a great deal on

They look plenty legit, and thats a R-6 (Reissue '56) BTW. Get the Goldtop, can't go wrong with reissues especially if they come equipped with P-90s.

The R6 is a no brainer. It's a BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING guitar at a DIRT CHEAP price. Unless you are absolutely opposed to it, you'd be a complete moron not to get it. Seriously.

 

...but I'm still gonna have to fight you because you're named Ian.
