Hello
I have a chance to buy a '92 Les Paul Studio in red. The previous owner change one of the volume pots to a push switch. Also the previous owner changed out the original pickups to a seymore duncun and something else. The owner removed the toggle switch completely.
The body has lots of little worn marks,its beat up, so missing paint around the top rear bout of the guitar and there are not any rash marks on the back but there are small nicks and dents and dings everywere on the front, back, head stock, etc.
The store wants 500 dollars for it. Is this a good buy?
I will have to replace the one pot(I checked and all of the other orignal pots are there.), the toggle switch, the ring around the toggle switch, the pickup rings and the pickups.
Is this better than some of the newer low end Les Pauls out now and better than the epiphones?
