Price watch (60)

An entry level LTD going for a whisker shy of $850? EMG + Bareknuckle pickups + Gotoh bridge = $850... Hmm... A Toyota with Lexus part upgrades - would you pay for that?

I used to own this guitar, it's from the Tribute Series (Les Paul 50s Tribute, 2012), slightly more affordable than the Studio due to the satin finish - that's how that relic'd part at the elbow rest got there. This won't happen if the guitar is gloss-finished. When new, this was $1.4K +/- so the listed price here is simply due to the fact that there's no more Gibson selling off the shelf & the opportunity to use age in mitigating price.
