Gibson LP Deluxe 1972 , € 950

2 x Seymour Duncan P90's

top is stripped, but I don't know what that means, think its about no paint or coverage on the body, since it looks really naked.


Guy's also selling this one for € 350

And while we're at it, from same site in Belgium, a rather weird but cool looking guitar:

    If only I had the money... theyre all pretty cool. I'd refin the tele though. Belgium is next door for me... so IF ONLY I had the money... :(

    the epi's pretty cool. overpriced though. the tele's ugly and the les paul's been pretty molested.

    Not for Belgian standards, I'm afraid... new they are 750 or so...

    Really? How do you know? Because of the stripped top?

    that and i don't think P90s actually fit in the routs for the original mini-humbuckers. it's been chopped a bit i think.

    That's Belgium, remember? 21% VAT taxes and about 7% customs. So for me it's actually a decent deal...

    I kinda liked the look of that top... As for the hummies, I don't have a clue...

    Man I stink at finding cool bargains :(

    that's a pretty common deluxe mod putting the p-90's in there for the mini humbuckers. Almost all originals I've see have this done. Yeah they fit because mini hums are wider than regular hums.

    You can find near perfect early 70's models for around $1200.


    Check out http://www.guitarworld.com and look for that Billy Gibbons (ZZtop) article where they searched all over Eastern Europe for badass guitars. Aparently they are all over.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    that just sucks that it's inflated the cost of private sale stuff too.

    Well if you buy a guitar new for 750 you wouldn't go sell it for less then half price would you? Either way, the second hand market in Belgium is ridiculously expensive anyway. If ten persons sell a guitar that was 750 new, maybe 2 will let it go for under 450.

    Here's the proof: one of the most visited search and wanted sites for gear. It's in dutch but I'm sure you recognise the names and prices in euro.
