Les Paul Guitar (knockoff, see left)—Bid high to be the
new master of this 1970's sunburst Les Paul Standard model guitar.
The most popular non-Fender guitar of all time! During the 70's
America got into defending its patent system, in so doing, the
lawsuit centered on Japanese and Korean imported guitars that
were dead-on copies of USA made Gibson Guitars. The USA nixed
imported cars until they stopped copying/importing our patented
guitars. This is one of those guitars made in Asia, it is as
close to the real thing as you can get. It's a PERFECT copy
of the real Les Paul Standard sunburst, made by GTX! Comes with
70's vintage hard shell case. A collectable player! Value is
about $700. Donated by Fred Markham. |
$820.
