[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1467183, member: 1535"] She surely just pawned it for that,or it was a copy. Epiphone,Edwards,Tokai,etcetc. The Japanese make some pretty damn good copies. They love guitars there. I know some pawnshop operators,a few in my family,and while most are good guys I suppose some arent. But that would be downright theft if it was a real Gibson Les Paul. I know,I own an old one, and I buy/sell used guitars and gear as a side business. Sounds almost like an urban legend. The 59' Sunburst Les Paul or 50s Strat found under the bed or the little ol lady who calls and says she wants someone to come get this old car out of her garage that her brother bought new then went off to the war and never came back- and its a 57' Corvette or something. Below is a pic of my 68' Gibson Les Paul Custom that I bought in 86'. Ive bought and sold a bunch of guitars and gear over the years as a side business and as a pro musician,including tons of Gibson Les Pauls,but this one is more than special. I bought the guitar for $250 in an LA pawn shop,along with a 79' Marshall JMP 100 amp head that I gave $300 for and an old beatup 1960A cab that I gave another $100 for.
