Members kulardenu Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 Will do this after I win the Mega...

Members lz4005 Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 1951 Fender Nocaster serial number 1751(Est. $40,000 - $60,000). Butterscotch with black pickguard, neck date "5-10-51 T.G.", no body date, with original thermometer case. Guitar has replaced volume and one tone pot but originals are present. This guitar was personally gifted to Les Paul by Leo Fender who signed the back of the headstock "Leo Fender." The guitar is uncharacteristically light weighing only 7.4 pounds. A: Holy Crap. B: It should sell for 3X that estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kuz929 Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 wow. just wow. Those are not only some of the rarest, most coveted guitars ever made, but they were owned and played by Les Paul himself. It says there is a public viewing... if I were anywhere near there I would go. FREE PUBLIC EXHIBITIONTuesday, May 29th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deanmass Posted March 31, 2012 Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 Man, they are so low on these estimates...the touring rig show go to the Hall of Fame. I am always torn with Estate things. I feel like the vulture picking through the scraps of a human. I know Les Paul would want his stuff to go to good folks, but it seems weird.

I'd just about kill for that prototype recording model though. Someday I am going to save up and hunt down an unmolested production model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billybilly Posted March 31, 2012 Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 1952 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop (Est. $14,000 - $16,000) No serial number, Trapeze tailpiece, tuners have been changed to Grover's, Pat. Pending with original case. This is one of the very first Les Paul guitars produced. The back of the headstock is hand signed, "Les Paul." The guitar is pictured on page 238 of Paul's autobiography, Les Paul In His Own Words. That's a great price, considering there are modern day production models of Paul Kossoff's and Don Felder's going for 10,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
