I don't have the patience to be a fulltime Ebay watcher, but if you do, youi can find remarkable deals on Gibsons, just like anything else. College boys selling SG's or LP Studios as credit cards or college loans come due seem to be one source of "their loss, my gain." But as I say, you gotta stay on watch through the whole bidding.
I got a '92 LP Studio w/ebony fretboard and '57 issues for $550. Simply, no one seemed to notice the guitar, and the lone pic on the listing did no jsutice to the guitar. I own and have owend several great LP's over the years, but for that price, or twice that, this guitar is beyond a steal.
I've seen LP Double cutaways at similar ridiculous deals.
I paid 5-something for a used one, great guitar & worth it IMHO.Originally posted by theelectic
Speaking of cheap Gibsons, any thoughts on the recent LP Jrs? Decent player, or is it a $300 guitar with a $600 price tag because of the Gibson logo?

Where is the best place to get a good price on Gibsons?
Exactly what I was thinking of getting, but knowing Gibson, and how they can muck up a $2000+ guitar, what's their $500 guitar going to look like? Especially if I can't play one beforehand. Might as well find a P90 Tokai for around the same price.Originally posted by sabbath90
musiciansfriend is selling les paul jr's pretty cheap. if you don't have a p-90 equipped axe you might wanna check one out.
FWIW, the guys at the LP forum seem like 'em too.Originally posted by theelectic
