    I also purchased a 1952 Les Paul for around $200. But, .... it was in the early 1970's, it was poorly refinished, carved out for humbuckers, and it was just an old guitar. Once I realized it was a 1952, I had it expertly refinished in a sunburst, refretted, and installed a stopbar tailpiece. Recently I installed Throback pickups to complete the restoration.

    With 3PU Customs, is it more common for the middle pickup screw-poles to be nearer the neck (as I thought) or the bridge … ?
    Coming from Gibson, I mean … Anything goes in the real world, for various reasons, I take it: eg, og Gibson zebras mostly seemed to have the screw-poles in the black bobbin and orientated on the ‘outsides’ of the cavities (ie with the creme of each on the ‘inside’, thus as near to each other as possible). Seymour Duncan zebras & reverse zebras have the poles on the opposite colored bobbins from the og Gibson arrangement (maybe just to confuse everybody … but I would guess, more likely to reduce the chances of Gibson suing them, especially when they first started producing them … ?! 🤷🏻‍♂️).
    Trogly, not sure if you’ve already talked about this, but an episode on pickup (humbucker) orientations etc would be interesting, I think … 🤔 🤷🏻‍♂️

    $200 50's Les Paul wouldn't seem that unrealistic at all in a certain scenario (when the owner is clueless).
    When Bonamassa bought his "Trash Bag 58' Flying V" the owner lady didn't know what it was and was apparently ready to sell it for couple hundred bucks (she ended up getting $150k or something like that).

      Yes… You could just as well say all stamps should be used for postage. Collecting stuff as a thing. And I do think that you’re right. The general sentiment from players is that these are instruments that should be played and enjoyed and make beautiful music for other people to enjoy. The thing is, there’s so many guitars out there that having a few of them be collectibles perfectly fine.

      At the end of the day, we all have the same information available in the palm of our hands. If I know and you don't, it isn't my fault. Always be the smartest guy in the room. My local paw shop guy is cool and cuts me deals on stuff that needs work. He sees a broken string or a bad setup as a reason to just get what he can and move on. He makes a little. Most times I triple my money from cleaning a guitar up and making it playable. He's glad to be rid of it and is happy to have made a profit. I give him asking price and flip it. Sure it's not 200$ for a 35000$+ flip but if it was, they had the same info available as I do. I tell him all the time he could double his money if he just did a 20 minute set up and some new strings. He doesn't have time for it. Well, I do. I'm not screwing someone over this day in age if they get what they ask. Doesn't matter to me if they didn't want more. The sellers remorse comes from lack of investigation. It's not because I beat em down on price.
