Will this be a good deal ?

[BGood]

Auction presently at $84.79, how high will it go ?

Headstock is cracked, but not the usual neck separation. This one show be real easy to repair.

Looks like it was dropped at least twice, note the chip on the body.

Hard to be sure how bad the damage is but it does look easier to fix than the one you recently did. Worst case, probabably break even on parts.

Where's the serial number? There's a photo showing the SN on the box label, but it's not in the usual place on the guitar.

And it cracked nicely on the screw holes.

I think it's just really hard to see. You can barely see it on the one's Sweetwater has: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EILS6BBNH--epiphone-les-paul-standard-60s-bourbon-burst



I didn't know they had Wilkinson tuners, I thought they were Grovers.

Yeah, they used to com with Grover’s. I bought two Epi LP Classics and they aren’t as high quality as the Grover’s . They have sharp edges on them. They may be actual chrome, I don’t know.

Ahhh. The famous Epiphone half inch of lacquer. I should have known.

Hey. that's structural damnit!

 

[Darkness]

Up to $200 now

 

[Raiyn]

Up to $255.

The thing that has me scratching my head is since the crack is structural, and they don't mention a repair - is it just detuned or what?

I'm not a woodworker, but given the loading going right along that crack I'd probably want to put some dowel pins across that joint before I trusted it.

Just clicked and it's already at $265... that's pretty expensive for something with structural damage even if it doesn't need major surgery... Good luck to whoever the final purchaser is....

which brings me to think... @syco - seeing how these people pay for broken stuff on ebay, you might actually be able to get a decent return on your guitars if you throw them up there for sale!!

Still a good price to me. That is a very easy minor repair to do and not a threat to the guitar integrity. The black top layer is not even buckled. Glue-clamp-disappeared.
