barrios Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 this guitar retails brand new, in the uk for approx £2,700 - £3,000 +. i've been looking to purchase one ever since i was 14, i have a glance at ebay now and again, to see what instruments are on there, and my eyes popped out of my head when i saw this...... http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-Gibson-Les-Paul-V...1QQcmdZViewItem even though it's second hand, this guitar has onnly been played for an hr or 2, it has been plekked, (if you don't know what that is, google it),ebony fingerboard, long neck tendon, all mahogony body, unchambered........i've basically saved myself 60% this will become my main electric guitar...

Uncle Bill Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I thought the "Black Beauty" model had 3 pick ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmorek Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I thought the "Black Beauty" model had 3 pick ups. Yeah, but that still looks like a very nice guitar anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quot correct, the 3 pick up is the bl beauty, confusingly, the 1957 black custom with 2 p ups was also known as the bl beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 "Black Beauty" has been used as a descriptive nickname for both 2 and 3 pickup versions of the Les Paul Custom. That's the thing with nicknames - their useage can be vague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
