The home of Gibson electric guitars today is "Gibson USA," built in 1974 in Nashville specifically for the production of Gibson's Les Paul guitars. Although the entire guitar industry went through a slump in the late '70s, the spirit of innovation remained strong at Gibson. In response to a growing demand for vintage stylings, Gibson tapped its rich history and reissued the dot-neck version of the ES-335 in 1981 and the flametop sunburst Les Paul in 1982. At the same time, two legendary guitarists joined Gibson- B.B. King in 1980 with the Lucille model and Chet Atkins in 1982 with his new concept of a solidbody acoustic guitar.

: recently aquired a mahogany cherry /white scratch plate marauder,serial no 714586, would love to know its value.

Hi Steve
I bought a '76 Marauder Custom (inc. hard case) off ebay a month ago for £361. It's in good playable condition for it's age. Obviously quite a low price, considering what you get for the money. The Custom is a prettier version of the standard model, but the sound is just the same. I used to have a regular Marauder in the early 80s.

I have a '63 Ivory Finish Gibson SG Jr. in original case w/ original Tube Maestro Amp. The guitar is in Very Good condition, the alligator style case is pretty beat up. It has spent most of it's life under my Mom's bed since my Dad bought it in '63. The serial # is 101906. Would anyone be able to provide me w/ a ballpark figure on what it would be worth. Thank you for your time.

Les Paul 7 sound mod "The Stinger!"

Posted by Dwight Listmayer on Sat, 10/23/2004 - 22:55.

I just modified 2 Les Pauls with a switch that gives you 7 tones instead of just 3. Now that's 2 more than PRS and it's wild. It's not on the market, but you can have one custom made by Emmett Brown at www.deaf-eddie.net. He provides instructions and full technical support. There's not much else to say. These axes are amazing! Strat Man and Les Paul Hotrodder Dwight
