For Sale - 1987 Gibson Les Paul Standard


1987 Gibson Les Paul Standard - Front and back view together

It's time for this Gibson guitar to find a new home. I still like to pick up a guitar once in a while, but can't justify the overhead of owning such an instrument for the rare moments I do get to sit down and play poor approximations of Gary Rossington licks.

My life has changed dramatically since I last declared "I'll never sell this guitar." I've said that about 5 times over with various instruments. In the past, a liquidation resulted from coming to a crossroads where cashflow constipation and gear lust meet. This time around, it's, uh, a long story. The short version is, I have another expensive hobby I'm enjoying immensely.

Why did I decide to make a Blogger site about this guitar? Think of the eBay or craigslist ad as the "Quick Start Guide" that comes with consumer electronics. This Blogger site is the actual manual. The main difference is, you'll read this manual, unlike the manual for your newest gadget.

As I update these pages, you'll see the story behind this guitar and get to know the current owner a little better. Thankfully, I am not including audio clips. You'd much rather see me showing off my photography skills rather than my lack of guitar playing skills.
