Hello all,

I have an older friend that is looking to sell his 1957 Gibson Les Paul Custom. He purchased the guitar from a music store in Kanas City in 1965ish. He played in a band with the guitar on weekends during his college years. It has pretty much sat in its case in his safe ever since. It is all original, it has three pickups, and an original Bigsby. He is now in his 70s and feels like he is ready to sell it. It still sits in its original case and has all original hardware. We live in a rural area in Missouri, and really don't know where to start. Any ideas on what this thing is worth and where/how to start looking for geometry dash lite the right buyer? Thanks.

A 1957 Gibson Les Paul Custom is a truly special instrument. For something this valuable, visiting a vintage guitar shop is a great starting point. They can provide an accurate appraisal, verify its authenticity, and even help connect you with serious buyers, some shops also offer free appraisals. It's worth taking the time to get expert advice in person.
