Default les paul triumph

A nice (ex-)white, now cream one - though looks like some of that is the lighting in the pics - looks to be in pretty good shape though

I'm not bidding, but I'd be proud to have that one! I'd say it was worth the opening bid for sure. Not sure whether i'd stretch to the BIN, but how often does a nice one like this come up?

It's worth the BIN - I'm thinking about it (for investment purposes).

The last one I saw on the bay (in worse condition than this one) went for just over 2K. That first (dead mint) one we saw about a year ago now went for over 4K.

Please, someone hit that BIN before I do.

Nice price me thinks. It slipped away from me (although I know I did'nt need it so maybe it was good I did'nt win).

I logged in with only minutes left (early morning here) and the BIN option was gone.

Default another one

alright then, check this - another whitey (for me maybe?)

Rare Vintage Gibson Les Paul Bass Guitar

looks like a broken headstock, and i'm not 100% sure its not a refin, but with the collection only and end time just before christmas, price could stay low.

Hands up if you live near Brighton, UK

I'd say that's not a refin (and coming from me - the resident original fin skeptic that's saying something). ... [edit] will maybe not - having trouble seeing the serial number but that pic isn't very good and the angle is weird.

Figures that the only white Triumphs to survive the years without aging into TV Yellow are the ones from sunny olde England :P

Default refin

unfortunately it is a refin - I asked - the reason I was supicious was the orange colour coming from the chips on the edge of the headstock. Didn't look right for unfinished mahogany, and too reminiscent of my Triumph.

Might still have a half hearted bid, in case I get lucky. I can't really be bothered to drive to Brighton, but if the price is right.......

Don't anyone not bid against me - if you want it go for it!!!!

Looks like I won't be joining your exclusive club this year Granny....
