$1700 :loon:
Surprising in a way because I found the chain to be reasonable.

I don't know, they CAN'T be smoking the good stuff or they wouldn't have put that bright white plastic on it. . . :toopidlol:

The best part is....

" Gear is available for in-store pickup ONLY during the first 60 days to give locals first shot at fresh gear and the advantage of trading. "

Looks to be in very nice condition though, despite the glowing white mounting rings! :roll:

I have never been attracted to an LP with 3 humbuckers. Just looks too, "busy", ya know? Like it's trying too hard or sumthin'. :loon:

That, plus the fact that I have enough difficulty avoiding bashing the heck out of my centre single-coil guitars! They're right in my strummin' zone fer cryin' out loud!

I had a 3-pickup Les Paul some 20 years ago. Paid less than half what they are asking for this one. Never really warmed up to a 3- humbucker guitar. Just doesn't have the tonal range of 3 single coils. Sold it for $100 more than I paid. Don't miss it either.

Music Go Round is a franchise. Each one is run by the franchise owner. Most are reasonable but there are a few morons running a few of the stores. Just recently picked up an Epiphone Del Rey from Music Go Round. Hard to find in good shape and seldom go cheap. The DC Pro that replaced it is half the guitar. Under $400 with HSC. Noting on it needs to be replaced. I've always loved the OBL pickups. I had a Del Rey in the mid 90s. Got it new and it was from the first 100 made. I've bought 3 guitars from Music Go Round and the other two were well below market. It all depends on the franchise owner.

And yes, that white hurts my eyes too.

I think I've got some in my pickup collection that you can have if you want them- maybe a couple new and a used one, possibly a single coil too. I have so many pickups that I'll never get around to using the Epiphone-made OBLs.

That would be fantastic! I bought up all the spares in this area better than 20 years ago. Are there any components you are needing in trade?
