Guitar for sale - March 31, 2006

I'm selling the old 1978 Gibson Les Paul Standard that was my primary axe on the "Projector" and "Haven" albums and tours. It's not in mint condition by any stretch of the imagination but plays well and sounds excellent. If anyone is interested in obtaining this piece of metal history (ha ha), please get in touch via niklas [at] darktranquillity.com for more information. Serious offers only.

How much would you pay for it, if you had enough money?

 

[La Rocque]

^ I'll have to think about it a while, will probably make an offer

What's a 1978 Gibson Les Paul Standard go for?

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

No idea, I'm guessing around 2000$?

 

[La Rocque]

^ Did some checking and about $1100 seems to be the going rate?
What percentage do you add because it belonged to Niklas and has a musical history?

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

250% at most, considering that the people who buy it should be muscian and they'd perfer a brand new instrument. You can brag about having Niklas' guitar but it won't help you play better.

 

[Zack]

I'd say make 4000 as your top offer, and ask what else he's getting

 

[La Rocque]

^ $4000

 

[Zack]

Haha, I only say that because I bet he gets offers that are way more

 

[La Rocque]

That would be great if He did get that much
Maybe if more people paid for DT's music, He would not have(?) to sell it

 

[plintus]

^ $4000

It's a relic, come on

 

[Zack]

^^Just giving you my two cents, it's your choice It'd be interesting to hear what he gets in the end, though

 

[Tritonus]

2000 is way to much for new LP. It's not for his old one. 1100 is good for a new one. I'll say I would give 2500, but he'll only get 1500 for it. I don't think DT-fans are that rich. I think we'll have a contest. My bet


Please place your bets:

Bet 1. Tritonus. 1500$ or 11550 krones.

 

[Zack]

Wise words, Tritonus, you've made me change
Bet 2: 2,500

 

[Tritonus]

And we'll make a list.

Bet 1. Tritonus. 1500$ or 11550 krones

Bet 2: Zack. 2,500$

 

[Cuthalion]

i would give 10.000$ (if i had them) and put the guitar on a pedestal in my Dark Tranquillity shrine

 

[Tritonus]

But that doesn't count. Would you bet that's what he'll get for it....I don't think so. But I bet Nicky would be really glad to hear that.

 

[Cuthalion]

well, i bet there is some rich DT fan out there who will give 10.000$, if i was rich i would give even more for Martin's blue Les Paul studio.

 

[Tritonus]

That one is wonderful, but I think Niklas' black is the mmost beatiful of them all. I'm in love with that guitar..

 

[Zack]

I, have that, It's only about 400 dollars
