I haven't picked any of mine up in months. Lost all my calluses and really dread the blood and blisters getting them back.

What are you asking for it?
I wish I could play a Les Paul again. I had a 74 Custom but the newer and alot of the std ones like that have a fatter neck and I can't do those. I've got some arthritis going too but I'm gonna keep at it with my SG in church till I freeze or go completely deaf or both.

If I wasnt all the way across the state from you I would buy it.
As far as pricing, that guitar in like new or good condition, with a gibson case should fetch $2k+/-.
I'd really need to see better pics to give a more solid figure. The serial number on the back of the headstock can give an idea of the year, and LP's also can have the year of manufacture stamped there as well, sometimes.
Scratches, fret wear, tarnished hardware, or any modifications can reduce the price a bit.

I'm in the Knoxville area. I'd be glad to help you go get it. Looks like a Les Paul Standard. I'm a Fender guy but those sunburst LPs are beautiful. A call to Gibson with serial number should tell you what year. They may even have a serial number lookup on their website like Fender does.
I agree with Blackbelt. Another thing that will hurt the value is a headstock repair.
Thanks for all the info. As much as I can remember it was pristine. I have it and a few of his amps. It will take a little while for me to grab it as I just had some gastro surgery and can't be too mobile yet. Possibly end of next week.
I might take you up on that. . I have it and a few of his amps. It will take a little while for me to grab it as I just had some gastro surgery and can't be too mobile yet. Possibly end of next week.
Absolutely. Just me know. PM me for my contact info.
depends on the year could be a few thousand to a retirement fund(1957-1960). like fender there were good years and bad years. same goes with amps.
Sadly it's newer maybe 10 years ish. Ha had a few and it was rhe newer. He might have changed the pickups. It plays like a dream

Those sound great. But standing and playing one is like wearing an anvil around your neck! Fender guy all the way...
He had a couple strats. One was pretty spiffy. An American ultra or something like that
