Guitar appraisals

Post by Big Ben »

Some guy i know (barely) has lent me this awesome Les Paul and I wanna know what it's worth so i can make him an offer on it. it's an incredible guitar and plays and feels maybe even better than my Schecter, and gets a much warmer tone. anyone know of any sites for this? i'll post pics of it in a bit, it's a nice, cherryburst finish Epiphone or Gibson (not sure, it says both)

Epiphone Les Paul Standard. 400 dollars new at Guitar Center.

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Epiphone-Le ... agpspn=pla

If it's in perfect condition, offer him 300 for it. If less than perfect, offer accordingly.

You can get a chinese made copy for like 400$ shipped to your door. You can get a real epiphone for like 400$ shipped to your door.

Those epi's squeal like a pig when you add distortion.\
Horrible feedback.

false to the bones!

this guitar fucking sings, it's gotta be a higher end model or a complete fluke that works right. i really don't know much about guitars and their companies, i just play them :tdown:

but i imagine this guitar isn't an entry-level Les Paul based off its feel. a $400 guitar playing better than my $800 Schecter and $1100 Ibanez?

Some Epiphones are very nice if they've been well taken care of. I almost bought an Epiphone Korina Explorer (500 dollars new, used for 350) a few years ago that looked like it had been dragged behind a truck but played as well as a 1,200 dollar US Gibson Explorer.
