I’ve been toying with the idea of selling my 91 studio after lockdown , but I’m so out of touch with what things cost I’ve got no idea of value.
It’s a 91 gibson les Paul studio. Cherry red , gold hardware , ebony board. Virtually no play wear, but a few dings round the edges where it’s previous owner had it hanging on a wall. Non original Grover tuners and replacement pickup selector which is nickel , not gold.
It’s a class guitar but the non original bits and my lack of pricing knowledge make it hard for me to put a value on.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of value would be fair for the guitar on the used market ?!

And as I think we're all aware, this has been a very strange and untypical last year, with lockdown and Brexit impacting on prices with much more variation than usual.
Atbthe end of the day it’ll sell for what it’ll sell for but £700 or less and I’d be amazed if it was still listed 3 days later.

They seemed to go a bit downhill sometime in the late 90s. Not sure why, but the ones I tried with the rosewood board when they switched from Ebony around 94 just didn’t seem as nice.
I remember reading on somewhere like the Les Paul forum from a Gibson employee that in 91 they got caught by surprise by the demand for studios and ended up using some better wood than they originally planned for due lack of time to sort
