Members Shocker Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Originally posted by FWAxeIbanez well then go buy one dip{censored}, plenty of ugly guitars to go around! {censored}, you want mine? haha, I'll put your address as the shipping address if you can paypal me the exact amount soon enough... I guess I just had no clue how bad depreciation on a gibson was... studios are usually like 1200 new aren't they? guitars usually don't get a full 50% knocked off like that unless it's a carvin or something... maybe it's just because tons of people have studios I've found that the only gibsons that appreciate like crazy are either really old or are Les Pauls (Standards +)/ES335's. The Explorers and the like tend to depreciate like any other brand would. //S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dlxrev Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 That picture is great I think you will like the Studio (as long as it plays like a LP should). Hoepfully it is black. To second what someone else said, do not try "rubbing" the gold off. It will look awful. Replace it if necessary, but don't rub it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FWAxeIbanez Posted November 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 hmm, thats more money than I was really willing to spend on this... new tuners and a decent bridge could end up being quite a bit... I think I might just play it a bit and casually list it for trade or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tele0507 Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 IF its the Teal Green colored Studio Les Paul w/ Gold Hardware 650.00 is not a bad price, depending on the condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pope on a Rope Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 If they finished in the same materials that they finished my ebony SG Special in, it will be green even though it's supposed to be black. My SG would turn green under black lights. I eventually stripped it and refinished it in transparent red. I hated having a black guitar that was really green.

I think thats gonna be the case for me exactly... It looks black untill there's a black object next to it, in which case it looks green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mistersuperfly Posted November 29, 2005 Members Share Posted November 29, 2005 I'm pretty sure MF still has ebony Epi Elites for 699 with the hardshell case... for me the choice between a beat up budget Gibson and a High-end, full featured, Made at Fujigen-Gaki (In Japan, known as one of the best factories in the world) Epiphone. I'd have to say the Epi would be the nicest guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sixthsense Posted November 29, 2005 Members Share Posted November 29, 2005 Originally posted by FWAxeIbanez exactly... I think it'd make a good project guitar if nothing else... who cares what market value is when all is said and done, it's all about personal value right? right?! nah bro, you're pretty much {censored}ed! Didn't you tell me you bought a strat the other day? Anyway, let me check out the axe when you get it. Lyricult, bitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stingxnj Posted November 29, 2005 Members Share Posted November 29, 2005 It's the flip-flop Teal Green color by BASF. Cool color. You may very well like this guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PRSnotPOS Posted November 29, 2005 Members Share Posted November 29, 2005 Originally posted by FWAxeIbanez sorta how it goes on an impulse buy with only 8 minutes to go when you find it... and gold hardware isn't my thing... I find it to be gawdy and I'm kind of a conservative guy myself, therefore thats a negative on the piercings... I don't know what crawled up your ass kid, but you're welcome to your gold hardware if you want it, so get off my balls, thank you much! I was thinking the same thing, but I figured if they won't show up in the pictures how bad could it be? I don't know tho, it is a dark colored guitar, that could hide anything couldn't it? damn, you guys are killing it for me... I was stoked... C'mon guys, look at this kids avatar. Doesn't it just scream conservative??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oYx Posted November 29, 2005 Members Share Posted November 29, 2005 i bought a used gibson les paul studio that was 9.5/10 (nitpicking on the fact that i had to intonate it) with no dings or whatsoever damage for $290. that was about four years ago, i think. kinda regret that i sold it.

Members Edward Posted November 29, 2005 Members Share Posted November 29, 2005 USD650 is probably around half what it would cost you in the UK..... As for the gold hardware, just play the damn thing - *any* gold hardware, the plating will rub off with use soon enough. I like the studios - they tend to have a better range of finishes than the standards. Gibson is, IMO, waaaaaay over-reliant on bursts and figured wood. Some day I'm going to order a Standard in sonic blue from Tokai Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
