How does a Gibson Les Paul compare to the knockoff Les Pauls?

Filed under:  gibson les paul electric guitar  by:  admin

I think I want to save my money and get a Gibson Les Paul instead of going out and getting a knockoff les paul, such as a Jay Turser or Epiphone. I figure I’ll never be happy unless it’s the real thing. And also, I think a true Gibson would hold its value over the years. But my question is, how does a knockoff compare to a genuine Les Paul? I’m an intermediate player, I’m not in a band or anything but I like a good sound not a cheap sound. Any input?
Well the Gibson is obviously nicer but for the cost difference I would get the Epiphone. Just my two cents, The cost difference is huge.

How much would my Les Paul be worth 20-30 years from now?

Filed under:  gibson les paul electric guitar  by:  admin

I am planning to buy a Gibson Les Paul Traditional because i love them and i know its a good investment. But i was wondering how much it would be worth 20-30 years from now? (they are about $2300 for a new one) any ideas????
It depends….how much do they appreciate in value every year? If you use the current price as the present value, assume the guitar goes up in value 10% every year, after 20 years it would be worth about $15,000. $40,000 in 30 years at the same rate, all other things being equal. If you think that your guitar would only go up in value say 5% a year, you are looking at values of $6,000 in 20 years and about $10,000 in 30.
