<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I hate to be a downer but I'd say more like $1500 to $1700. Mint condition or not it's almost 30 years old and it's not like it's a '59 or something. If it was a flame top then I'd say closer to $2000.

On Ebay anything goes though...people list Les Paul Customs for ridiculous prices on there..that's your best bet to sell.

Re: Les paul custom..

Jacksonfreak has a 76 custom which he paid a great price for and a few at his store that were around 1500. The Norlin era sandwich Les Pauls are not the most valuable either. I ahd a Les Paul Spotlight Special which only 211 were made of and there were 2 different styles of it also. Even those were only going for 1500-2000. Your best bet is to go to the Les Paul Forums and see what they would value it at.

Re: Les paul custom..

Yeah my LP was the deal of the year next to my SD Strathead. Anyway. Whats the seriel on it? Are you sure its a 76'? It should be a sandwich body and have a oval decal under the clear coat on the back of the headstock. I would love to see some more picks of yours. 77's had a non sandwich body
but the 75 and 76 were sandwich's. Mmmmmmm mohagony. :drewl:

I forgot to mention the only thing "rare" about a Cherry BUrst LP custom from 76 is they made more in Ebony then they did in Cherry Burst. Whats more rare is a factory three pickup i CHerry burst since 76 was the only year they made it in Cherry and Ebony.
Nice looking guitar though.

Re: Les paul custom..

I agree, do not touch it further. If you need a graphic, you can buy an old MIJ Burny or a beat up Gibson and deface it.
