smokeyjocustoms Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Anyone know what this guitar is worth. Ballpark? Seller says it is a walnut body, I think he means mahogany. Any help is appreciated. He wants 400 or Best offer. It's in Showroom condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hezochiah Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Even the newer "Melody Maker" 1 pickup Les Paul runs for around $400. So yeah, seems like a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syxxstring Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Don't know what its worth but the "the paul" models were some sort of cheaper les paul. Notice its a solid one piece body, a lot of them had flat tops. $400 seems about right from what i saw on ebay. The deciding factor should be how it plays and sounds. For value I'd email Elderly or Cowtown Guitars, they'll give you a basic idea what its worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespresence Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Looking at the pic's and in the latest blue book it appears to me to be model "The Paul SL" (LPTP) the only "The Paul" model available in Emerald Finish. Value breaks down as follows: 80% Very Good + = $325 90% Excellent = $375 95% Exc + = $425 98% Near Mint = $475 100% Mint = $650 Rating is totally subjective and you really are the deciding factor in what % shape it's in. Most used fall into 85-95% without any major scuffs other than a very little normal wear and tear. I think if you look it over and it's got no major wear or scratches then $400 is a good price.
