• 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!

I bought this used Les Paul Studio online at Guitar Center. It was priced $399 and comes with a case.It was listed as in fair condition because it has had a headstock repair.
Still I thought it was worth taking a chance at that price. I am having it shipped to my local GC so I can try it there first.It is hard to read the serial number but it looks like 2010?

Do you know the specs for this model? What type fretboard wood was used for these or if they came with coil split or coil taps for the pickups?

How can you loose? If the neck fix is well done you have a functioning Les Paul for peanuts, even if it has a kitchen appliance finish. If you are handy you can use this as a mod platform. Depending on your skill and ability to learn, you could transform that into a custom one off creation of your dreams, or just upgrade to make a cool player.

Either way, good score.

Thanks! I have haven't gotten it yet.It just arrived at my local GC but I am going to let it warm up there until tomorrow because the temperature today is -18F so I must still be frozen solid.

So I go to GC to pick up the guitar today and when we open up the shipping carton there is an Epiphone triangle shaped box inside. I say that can't be it,where is the case? When we open the box the Les Paul is inside but after I look at the headstock repair I tell them I don't want it. It looks like an amateur job so I just cancelled the order and got a refund. What a bringdown!

Sorry it didn't work out brother, at least they had that full satisfaction guarantee so no money lost but it does suck to get hopes dashed.
