Gibson Les Paul Standard off Ebay?

[GuitarGuy503]

See? Just take what you said and reverse it 180 degrees. So instead of 99 out of 100 good deals on Gibsons having a headstock repair, it would actually be closer to 1 out of 100.

Agreed.

[GuitarGuy503]

No you haven't. The only way you've seen hundreds of Gibsons with head damage is if you did a search for pictures online.

That sounds about right. lol

I've owned a Gibson since 1968.... an SG standard. The headstock has NEVER been broken, I also own 2 Les Pauls & a 335. same thing..... never been broken. I agree with Aceman if you drop it there is a chance it could break, but I have never dropped any of my guitars.

Yes but once you try to sell it, it will immediately break. Beware.

Look I have seen literally hundreds of Gibsons with head damage. Go on any guitar store site and the majority of the used Gibsons will have "Some head damage" "Good neck repair" face it Gibson's break more than any other guitar. If you find a very good deal on a used Gibson like with any really good deal on e-bay you smell a rat. With a Gibson 99 times out of 100 that smell is coming from a head break injury.

I think you're drawing the wrong conclusion, if what you're saying is the truth to begin with. Just because there are Gibsons on the wall with broken necks does not mean that all Gibsons have broken necks. It just means that people don't want to buy Gibsons with broken necks.

Yes, Gibson Les Paul's are subject to neck breaks more so than any other guitar than I am aware of. Yes, there are quite a few Les Paul's out there with broken or damaged headstocks. No, most used Gibson's do not have broken headstocks or headstock repair. That's just silly.

I believe a rocket has been to Uranus.

I see what you did there.

Guy's, I'm freaking out! I have a LP, and it's the best guitar I have played. The problem is, it's in it's case now, and I'm scared that if I open the case and play the guitar, all sorts of problems could happen, ranging from : scratches in the finish, dings on the body, fading of the color, or the ultimate injury, a headstock break!

Ok, besides keeping my Les Paul in it's case for the next 45 years, any idea how I can fix this? I think I'm doomed.

[formula73]

Why did you even buy it? You should know better. They're all poorly-designed, worthless pieces of crap, anyway.

[jeremy]

enough already. buying a lp off ebay is fine. i wouldnt do it but i wouldnt buy any guitar i havent played. a gibson isnt any different than anything else

And if you don't stop flaming each other, I'm going to damage some heads...
