value of a 78 les paul custom?

[cvansickle]

Is it a player?

I have a 1979 Custom, Silverburst. I bought it new in 1980, and it's been my main guitar ever since. Value - PRICELESS!

They vary so much it's hard to tell. What cond is it in? Is it for sell or trade? Let me know if it is.

Gibson used to have a on-line query of their guitars value. You place the model, the year and a "rough guide line" how much the market value.

Now they recommend you get Vintage Guitar Magazines' George Guhn's Blue Book Guitar Book.

Over 10 years ago, a '77 Les Paul Custom was worth $1200 - $2000. Even if its built in Norlin where some vintage aficionados claimed those were junk while other say they got a bad rapped because Gibson started to cut corners at time using pancaked Mahogany bodies and the tenon neck did not go into the pickup cavities like their vintage models.

Some made a big deal about it. Some say, can you really hear the difference?

Sorry I did not answer your question completely. I don't know what your 78 Gibson Les Paul Custom is worth Today.

silverburst?thanks to Adam Jones(TOOL),the silverburst is very pop. among certain circles..recently sold an 81 black Custom(Norlin era, as I believe yours is) and got 1400-bought it for 1000 in '95-if it is a silver, I believe you will come out better than I did(but hey..I made 400 bucks..gotta luv it!)
does it have a valuted(sp.?) neck?
