[as much as i hate talkin about gibson] a few months ago i came across a les paul that had been repainted like 3 times so it brought the value down TO ONLY 75 DOLLARS!!!
after a month of beggin my mom she finnaly bot it 4 me!
wen i brought it home i played it and it sounded like a2000 dollar guitar
but after i had it4 a while i found out the paint was crap it chipped a whole lot[that how i know it was painted 3 times]
i learned that with a gibson u dont really get ur munnys worth

Now, I know Gibson has had some minor quality control issues as of late, but I know that they don't let anything out of the factory that's been painted three times.

I have a feeling someone else has painted this. What exactly is it?

So, really, you should revise your last statement, to something along the lines of "I learned that with a used Gibson that someone has painted on several different occasions, you don't get your money's worth."

Give it up. She's making an effort to improve her posting habits.

wingfield, I really don't mean to bust on you too much- but PLEASE, try to improve your spelling and grammer. This post made my eyes hurt! :shock:
finnaly = finaly
bot = bought
4 =for
u = you
munny = money
C'mon wing- you can do it!!! :wink:

grammer = grammar
finaly = finally

But to come back on topic, for $75 it's not a real Gibson Les Paul but surely a copy. And talking about "painted three times", there are several well-documented cases of vintage Stratocasters having several coats due to respraying a rejected body without first stripping it.

Any likelihood you got bought an instrument which was a copy and maybe repainted or re-decal-ed to impersonate a Gibson?

If it was painted thrice, that is not a Gibson factory-delivery.

Still, strip and refinish it and the instrument should be a prize.

And 'beg to differ with you, but with the great companies, Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Martin, one receives exactly what they pay for when they purcase a new instrument.

You must learn about and agree with their construction and pricing philosophies in advance, however.
