Photos of your guitars

so interesting story. i go into eddie's guitars in st louis yesterday. i was in the neighborhood visiting accounts and thought i would stop in. i had not been there since before covid when they made everything appointment only. i showed up without an appointment and since there were no customers in there they let me in. i asked them if they had any 60s spec les paul standards in stock. they said that they had two, a honey burst (i think) and a pelham blue. the pelham blue was on sale because there is some finish checking on it. i asked to play the pelham blue because i was sick of gibson not making any more of the british racing green les pauls.

so i played it and was talking to the salesguy for a bit and it is an interesting story. it is a 2023. they got it in brand new and it had sat in the store since they got it new. a guy online in virginia bought it about 2 months ago and it got damaged in shipping resulting in 3 long narrow finish checking lines that you can't even really see unless the light hits it right. the guy sent it back to eddie's. they could not sell it as brand new since it was damaged in shipping and they had made a damage claim on it so the buyer sent it back to them and exchanged it for a new 2026 one. turns out the guy has the same first name as me. the price was marked down from $2599 to $1850, so i bought it. i don't mind some finish checking. it is probably going to check at some point anyway. in total i paid like $2040 for it, which is almost $600 off. i just couldn't pass it up. the reverb listing is below, and of course the price is not correct. i would not have paid full price for it. i haven't taken pics of it yet but probably will tonight or tomorrow. until then you can see them in the listing. i am pretty happy with it so far.

watch, gibson will restock the british racing green les pauls tomorrow, haha
