Really cool! I've been wanting one of those. And for a Brinks truck to tip over in front of my house!

There really are tons of great guitars out there like this. I am constantly surprised by how many "one-owner" vintage guitars (and amps) still pop up. Most of the time, however, the owners (or the owner's family) has an accurate or inflated view of what they are worth. Damn that internet thing.

Thanks guys, this thing sounds as good as my friends 56 les paul. As for the rush pic, my son drew that for me, he likes rush also.

My first Gibson. I bought it for $250 with paper route money in '71 when I was 14...saved for years for it. Wish I still had it too! Just great guitars! Enjoy!

Just curious. Why is this guitar better than say a new Gibson P-90 Gold Top?
