Vintage Les Paul Gibson goes for US$...

For those on the Foro who are interested in vintage electric guitars. The September 22, 2014 Washington Post has an article about a 1960 Gibson, Les Paul model, "Sunburst" electric that was bought new for US$320 in 1960 and just recently was put up at auction and went for US$140,000. The article states that prior to the financial meltdown of 2008, mint condition Les Paul Sunbursts were going for close to US$400,000! (It appears that there was a vintage guitar "bubble" every bit as out of control as the housing bubble.) I never played electrics, but wish I had bought one back then and kept it in its case as an investment. Bill
