should i buy it?

[madmax1012]

found this les paul copy on craigslist and was wondering if it was worth buying.

"I have a custom electric guitar I don't play anymore. It started as a Gibson Les Paul copy with sunburst finish. I had all the hardware replaced with OEM Les Paul Hardware and has a custom neck made. It is a slim, fast neck, like a Jackson or Ibanez, not the thick Gibson or Fender type. I also had the rear pickup replaced with an EMG active pickup. The guitar plays and sounds awesome. Over $1000 into it. "


i emailed the guy and he's only asking 350 for it...

I would...

But I also spend on impulse...

[madmax1012]

lol same here, and i'd probably end up modding this thing myself. i've got a JB humbucker that i would love to put in a les paul, and this thing actually looks pretty cool for the money...

[Noise...]

Hell no.

Unidentified LP copy (potentially anything. Epi, counterfeit, etc.) with a replaced neck (who knows if it was set or not, how well made the neck is, if it's in properly, etc...), and an EMG, which likely needed some routing somewhere.

I wouldn't pay $100 - let alone $350 for it.

The only way to know is to play the damn thing

Idk man, I'd play it first, if you dig it then yes, do it up.
If not then don't
if you genuinely like it then it's a good price for what he's selling

Though that sets off a shitton of red flags (why would you replace the neck? EMGs, really? Why arbitrarily replace it with OEM hardware?) that questions the sensibility of the seller, it looks fucking sweet.

[masked elwood]

nope..... absolutely not.
way too much money for a modified copy.

I agree too much... still he should say what is on the headstock!
