Members cmw1302 Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 Looking for some semi-local trading partners, specifically in the Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas areas... My first up for trade is a very rare Gibson Les Paul Custom Showcase Edition from 1988. If you research this model, you'll find that Gibson made 250 of these in the month of March, and made a different showcase model each month after that for 8 months total I believe. Mine actually has a February '88 serial number, so it may very well be one of the first ones made. This Les Paul Custom was configured from the factory with all black hardware, including black Grover tuners; EMG's in both the bridge and neck; and a metallic Ruby Red finish. As you can see in the pics, the neck pickup has been changed out to a Seymour Duncan. This guitar is in excellent condition for it's age. It has a few finish cracks here and there, but finish only, nothing beneath the surface. The only detracting flaw is that it has a slight bit of damage to the finish caused by one of those wall hangers that dug into the finish a little bit on both sides of the headstock. I couldn't get it to show in pics very well, but would be glad to send pics of what I have. Does not affect playability in any way whatsoever. If you play any heavy metal and always wanted a Les Paul that could hang with some of the shredder guitars out there, this is the one for you. I do not have any paperwork or case for this guitar, so I would really prefer a semi-local deal. I live in Clinton, OK and wouldn't mind driving in any direction up to about 200 miles for a meet. Thanks!!! As far as trades go, I'm looking for other Gibson Les Pauls or similar. Prefer humbuckers to single coils personally, but feel free to make any offers. Also interested in ES-335's, PRS Singlecuts, Bakers, etc. I would put a trade value on this of $2000-$2500. Could possibly be higher due to so few being offered. These are very hard to find. I see more of the Les Paul Custom Lite Showcase Editions in Gold and Les Paul Standard Showcase Editions in Silverburst than this model for some reason. At any rate, all of the Showcase Editions were limited to 250 each. 200 domestic, 50 shipped overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Bogner Shiva head and 2x12 bogner cab i'd think about trading. I'd be looking primarily for a recent Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Silvervox Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 I have a Mesa Stiletto Ace 2X12 combo in mint condition, tan grille/tolex, with the cover. I'd post pics, but I don't have a camera (all of my moneyz go to guitar stuff). Interested in any trades. Great amp, but my AC50 is all the amp I need and fits my playing style better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
