Gibson Les Paul Custom, by They call me Stephen on Sept 16, 2009 13:44:03 GMT 1, So...this isn't art related as such but I know there are a few guitar fanatics on here and need some advice/help.
I've come into some Gibson Les Paul Jim Beam custom guitars which are unplayed and include Gibson custom hard cases. These are in no way dodgy and are 100% genuine. The guitars have a jim beam faceplate on them which is printed onto a plastic sheet which upon further inspection looks like it would easily unscrew leaving a black Les Paul custom body underneath. There is a Jim Beam badge of some kind underneath the Gibson lettering on the head which looks like it could not be removed.
Although I play the guitar I have no need for these so am looking to sell them and (more than likely) buy some nice artwork or book a nice holiday with the money. I have no idea what these are worth so any bit of information would be greatly appreciated.
I will ask on a guitar forum if this gets no response but remember a guitar discussion recently and don't fancy joining up to a new forum considering I spend far too much time on here as it is! ;D

Gibson Les Paul Custom, by They call me Stephen on Sept 16, 2009 14:37:25 GMT 1, Thanks jopkop. I think they might have all been made as promotional gifts so it seems pretty hard to place a value on it at present!
Knew it was worth asking on here though... ;D

Gibson Les Paul Custom, by Urban Cowboy on Sept 16, 2009 14:59:22 GMT 1, been in touch with stephen and will help him out getting on info on his guitars which I am sure are not copies (like in the photo above)
I know a few people and a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man!
