• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Love ES's

I posted this somewhere else and might as well put it in here.This is a list of guitars i was selling in 1986-87 {i think that is close anyway}These were going to get a burst.The prices will make you sick.A 1959 Es-335 near mint with tags for 3750 which is 3750.00 and sold at 3550.00.I did not put the last 2 digits on the price sheet so 4500 is 4500.00,1750 is 1750.00, 450 is 450.00 etc.Insane how cheap stuff was .Now you younger guys can see how us old guys got all those amazing guitars,they were so much cheaper then but money was worth a lot more.Hope you guys like this i have been hesitant to put old prices up but someone asked so here you go.Mike B.

Excuse me whilst I kick myself repeatedly for not buying this off you when it was available.

I'm sure another will come along in another few years. I only know of three black ones, although there are probably others under beds and in closets (McCartney's guitar player Rusty Anderson has one of them).
