This guy would make a great story teller.... :lol: Steffan
1976 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. I know it's a '76 because I bought it in '76. I remember I paid around three hundred bucks for it back then. I didn't like the little pick-ups so I tracked down some luthier genius guy who said he could router out the body and slam in a couple of Dimarzio Super-D's for thirty bucks. So I paid him up front and then I noticed he was missing three fingers on his right hand but it ended up he did a really nice job. In 1988 some some goth chick with a red mohawk stole my car and the guitar was in the trunk and she ended up ditching it in a snowbank so the finish has some cracks if you look really close because it was 44 degrees below zero that night. I traded it to my drunken loser cousin for a car in 1990 but I bought it back from him in '92 because he was broke. I swapped out the pick-ups with a Duncan Pearly Gates at the bridge with an original 1974 Gibson humbucker at the neck. They sell for between $2500 to $3000 these days so I figure $1800 is a fair price. And if you're one of these people who feels they've failed as a human being if they paid the asking price, it's $2000 and we can negotiate. Tobacco Sunburst. Don't email and ask dumb questions or offer me nine hundred bucks or I'll be mean to you. Thanks.
