can anyone identify a 1982 les paul-says black beauty 82 on truss rod cover-has second 4-digit serial number below the made-in-usa and has a black custom body-old style, and a les paul standard -type neck-with an ebony board... gold hardware and i know of the heritage 80 s and other reissues with old factory bodies... so i like the early 80 s lp s for their tone- any help /?/ thanks-johnault1@verizon.net

Yes this guitar is one of 4 guitars produced in 1982. Three were burned in the famous 'Smoke On The Water' fire.

If Jimmy Page finds it he will surely pay tens of thousands for it.

I own a '56 Les Paul Special (minor mods for playability, still have original parts i.e. tuners, bridge) with a (rare?) color. It's original white. Not TV. Original P-90's. My father purchaced it new in '56 for $200. It's older than me, & in better condition...and I'm 49. I've heard various opinions over the last 30 years, but if there is an expert out there...How rare is this & how much is it worth?

dont sell it unless you really need the money , you can sell it for more than its worth in the price guide which is $15000 to $20000, very rare ..

Is your 1956 LP Special single or double cutaway? Dog-ear P-90's? I have NEVER seen one in white, in person or online. Would be cool if you had the original sales receipt saying "white LP Special" on it- that would help confirm it is unique. I doubt Gibson could corroborate that it came in white from the factory. It is certainly valuable, but I have to add white guitars ganerally do not fetch the bucks sunbursts and golds do... still collectors love those old gibsons, and if it's faded to a creamy color it probably looks great. Enjoy!

Hi, just curious, the gibson les paul classics 90 to 93 had model on the headstock? Then 94 to 2006 have classic on the headstock? Now it seems gibson have gone back to putting model on the headstock for the 2007 classics. Would this be correct? Also i have a 94 les paul classic (cherry sunburst) with AAA flame in mint condition, i think they called this a premium plus. The neck seems to be inbetween a 50's and 60's not slim but not fat (strange) as my other classic i have has the conventional 60's slim tapered neck. What would be the asking price for my 94 classic? Thanks. Dave.

I have a 1956 Les Paul Junior, all original, not a scratch and hardly played. It's complete with the original case and the tags that came with the guitar. Suddenly, people are interested in buying it, but I don't know it's true value. Any suggestions on value range or where I can get more information on value?

I have a Les Paul that the serial number was scratched off. I've tried to find out what year it is for a very long time. I got it for $300, 11 years ago. It's sun burst, pearl inlays, gold hardware and the tuning nobs have either been turned around or switched. Is there any way to find out what year it is?

Has anyone seen the movie "Stranger than Fiction" with Will Farrell? I'm trying to figure out what model of les paul is sitting in the window of the guitar shop he enters. Its black and it has what appears to be a white flower, maybe a rose on the body.

I have a Les Paul Profesional in good condition. Original thunderbird case has been knocked around a bit. Any ideas of current value?

Does anyone have an idea (or have) a Jimmy Page Tom Murphy Les Paul for sale? I have been looking but haven't been able to track one down. I would also be interested in the '04/'05 VOS Page reissue Les Paul. Please let me know. I would be most grateful. Thanks.

.
The ability to travel in time is indeed a rare feature in a guitar. The "Smoke on the Water" fire happened in 1971.

If H.G. Wells could find it, he'd pay hundreds of thousands for it.

Hi guys. I'm willing to buy a second hand Gibson Les Paul Custom of 1981. Someone told me the late 70s early 80s Customs really suck. Is this true?

not true

I have a Les Paul Deluxe with 99 for the 1st numbers of serial #. It's cherry sunburst with two mini humbuckers and a third full size humbucker on the neck without a cover. The guy trying to sell it to me says its a 1968. After reading your page, I think it's more like a 77. What do you think? What is a fair price to give him for it?

Heey, I just bought a les paul double cut standard equipped with p-100s. Is there any way to tell what year it was made in? The serial number is 00540620. Any info on this guitar would be appreciated, i've never seen p-100s on another guitar before.
