How much is 'too much' for some wood and wire?

So much depends on your financial situation.  When I was a student I played in bands for several years with one guitar (Tokai Strat) and one amp.  

Now I'm older, few quid in the bank, no dependants, mortgage paid off I can indulge myself a bit but I'm not reckless and usually have half an eye on resale value.

Most I've paid is for a Les Paul, a few weeks old and in mint condition.  Paid £2,200 but then had it re-fretted and fitted with Bareknuckles to bring the total cost to nearer £2,800. Ended up with a guitar that's perfectly specced for me and still cost £500 less than the new price.  Still a good deal.

The Les sounds nice! Pics!
