This is interesting. How much do you think it will sell for at auction?

Given its significance I was expecting it to go for more considering the Gilmour Strat auction. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I'll be contrarian and say that I'm surprised it actually went for that much.
As revolutionary as innovative as Les Paul (the man) was, that guitar is a "curiosity" at best. It's completely f'n mangled and for all intents and purposes, other than the fact that it was Les Paul's guitar - it's barely an LP. Collectors want and demand originality. Gilmour's black Strat went for the dough it did because it's the guitar that was used to make all those amazing Pink Floyd records. Can you name me 3 songs (off the top of your head) that Les Paul used that orig LP on? Anybody under 45 ys old barely even knows who Les Paul was or what he did. That guitar is super cool from a music technology POV but it ain't like finding an untouched Egyptian mummy. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I wouldn't mind it in my collection though

It sold for $930,000.00
In comparison, Kurt Cobain's Martin went for 6.1 million. Gilmour's Black Strat, around 3 million. This post has been edited by klasaine: Oct 23 2021, 01:52 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
