Annual auction at the village hall and there's this Epiphone LP Standard. Bidding started at £5 and I got it for £45. It's new - not played played in. Strings are new. Still shop stickers on headstock. I've never really been a Les Paul fan, but this guitar has won me over. Sounds great and plays beautifully. And at that price I wasn't going to turn it down. Also got a great little Line 6 VP IV (15 watt) in perfect nick for £20. Just felt I had to come on here and share my good fortune. I'm just delighted!

    It's a little place called Brigadoon. Hard to find on maps.

    It was 1990 when he went in...

    If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.

    Great score!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.
