[charmander]

doubt it
ive seen erly 50's lps sell for over 80 grand, i dont think they CAN skyrocket

 

[samwise]

Well, shit

 

[skibum2292]

this sucks, atleast i got his autograph on my lp.

 

[[~_~]]

you never know dude...we're talking about Gibson here.

ie: $3,000 guitars with $700 worksmanship.

 

[charmander]

gibson doesnt control the secondary market though, and they werent so bad until a few years ago.
76 lpc = my dream guitar

 

[Arabian.]

WAT? I've seen '59's go for upwards of $120,000 in good condition. And you want a 76? Unless you mean Deluxe, (mid-72 to early 76) a custom from that era is certainly not as good as a mid-50's or early 70's. I personally would want a '61 LP special. Less than 400 made with P-90's and the SG body. They sound amazing.

damn........

R.I.P Les.

 

[Funnel]

Word. Does seem like lots of important/well known people are dying.

 

[mitchk]

my parents saw him at his club or w/e in new york last year they said he was really, especially for being 93 at the time. i was hoping to see him sometime soon if i went down there but i guess not anymore

 

[Malcolm]

[I_Am_Mod]

RIP les!

[freezed]

RIP Les...A true innovator. A great player and a great man.

 

[jayo.]

he will definitely be missed. RIP

 

[PacificRimJob]

Be stoked Les - you lived about 3 times as long as half of all rockers seem to.

Legit guitars though.. fa sho.

Made the first solid body electric guitar. Basically the guitar he made (i believe it was called the plank) defines the modern day electric guitar. A great man. RIP
