Bought my very first Les Paul Standard brand new around June of 1987 for $825. Price included a HSC. Mine was wine red with a killer flame top. Sticker price was $1101 in a store here in Memphis.
and in 1979 I bought a new SG Standard for $299!! (I WISH I still had that one!)
It's a day I'll never forget, I bought my first real guitar as a Junior is H.S in 1986. A white studio for $599 at Steve's Quality Instruments, now gone.
Just curios, what were les paul standards going for back around 1985.
thanks
Heritage Series 80 $900.00 out the door. 1981 from Leo's Music. The price was kind of steep compared to a Standard, but I had to have it.
So, allowing for inflation, they are cheaper now (?) :hmm
I didn’t really know how good of a deal I got until reading your post. In 1982, I paid $300 for a 1981 Heritage Standard-80 and gave it to my brother for a birthday present knowing it was his dream guitar. We just lost him over the holidays, and his wife gave me his collection including that old Standard-80.Heritage Series 80 $900.00 out the door. 1981 from Leo's Music.

You did better than I. I got dinged for almost a grand for an H-80 back then by one of those 'Mom and Pop' stores which I am happy to report is no longer in business.
