It seems like every time I see someone selling an old Les Paul, it's in ridiculously good condition no matter how old.
Well, I've got an early 70s Cherry Sunburst LP Custom that looks like hell. I bought it in the mid-80s for $400, from a punk guitarist who couldn't hack the weight while thrashing around on stage for a couple of hours. There was actually mold growing on it.
Yeah, I cleaned it up, and it looks a lot better 35 years later than it did when I bought it, but still -- there's at least one bit of hardware that I'm not sure is original, there's bubbling up of some of the metal finish. Like I said: It looks like hell.
So, aren't there any other people out there with old LPC's that might sell for $1500 (I'm guessing) instead of the 4k-7k that I always see ...
