Members FinchTheory Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 I've finally decided to pull the trigger and get my dream axe for christmas, a black Gibson Les Paul Custom. I have a couple questions though, is it possible to get silver hardware on a black custom? I prefer silver over gold, but can't seem to find options of what color hardware. Also how low do you think I could get Guitar Center to sell me the Custom? When I bought my Les Paul Studio and my Dual Rectifier they gave me a bunch of money off, but the lowest I've seen a custom go for lately is around $2800. I feel like you could of gotten them for $2400 two years ago. Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hetfieldinn Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 Go to the Guitar-A-Thon this Friday thru Sunday. Supposed to be big savings on every guitar in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tulk1 Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 Fairly sure Gold hardware is standard on the LPC. I'd figure a minimum 20% off list. Haggle to 35%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FinchTheory Posted December 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 I thought all Gibson Les Paul Customs these days were custom shops? I don't want a reissue or anything of that sort just the new standard Les Paul Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're asking for is reasonable and I would think they'd probably accomadate you, of course for a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Takeaway Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 You can get nickel harware instead of the Gold, but only in the 68RI guise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackCustom Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 The only ones made with Nickel hardware are the '68 reissues from the Custom shop. You could find one used, and that may be the cheapest way to do it. I prefer the white metal as well, but decided it wasn't worth the expense. By the time I did tuners, covers, TP and Bridge, it would be a few hundred dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
