WTB - Gibson LP Custom or R8

BloodEagle

As title, I’m after an older LP Custom, 80s/90s/older 2000s, possibly an early 70s player  - has anyone got one they’re thinking of moving on? Alternatively, after a 2013+ r8. Any help much appreciated.

What’s the right price for a recent (2014-2017) R8 nowadays?

I think Charlie Chandler's got a Custom Shop one for sale. £3,850... not sure if that's a good price or a bad price.

I don’t know, but I’m not after an R8

The one at Charlie C's is a 54 RI.  :-)

Is that the going rate for a 54 Custom RI?

I remember when these sold for not much more than £2000 a few years ago.

Seems like they were a good investment.  Or the world be crazy.

Anyway, there was a nice one here:

Edit:  Oh, I see the OP probably already knows about it.

Yeah, I might have jumped on it but he suddenly raised the price by 600 quid, which I found a bit off putting.

Hi. I have a black players' 77 custom if that's of any interest?

You have any details on your 77?

Bump - also now interested in R8s.

I have a great 78 LP Custom for sale... it’s up here. I’ll bump it now so you can have a look;)
