    How much for this odd possibility?

    So, I just got back into playing after many...MANY years off, and I am in now way interested in doing it seriously. I have a green fender strat that I bang around on, and some other random, cheap guitars. That said, I found this today, and while I can't stand that SoBe crap, I can't help but want this guitar. I'm fairly partial to the green color, and this might be fun just to own:

      Here's the headstock...which I would assume is a SoBe lizard...SoBe makes some sorta vitamin water....

          It's seems to be a fairly stock Epiphone Les Paul...so how much would you spend on this thing? If the SoBe wasn't there...it would be a no-brainer for me, but I still want it...just not sure what to offer for it...

          So...any help would be...well...helpful...

              It's not worth a ton, it's one of their starter models with a fancy paint job...

                  Mate, the bolt on version of an epi lp is vastly inferior to the set neck...and it looks like one of those.

                  I agree it's a cool conversation piece, but if it's a bolt on and they want more than $200 I'd be walking.

                          i like it. I drink SoBe, green is my fav color, and it has some EVH styling to it. But not sure the value. Checking ebay CLOSED auctions, it has sold for these prices recently:

                          $75
                          $112.50
                          $177.50
                          $155

                              Yeah...I saw all that...didn't see the $75 one though...

                              With shipping on nearly every one I've seen...the price point seems to be right at $175 or above...

                              I know that...

                              What I'm wanting is what you mugs would pay for it. I'm not really looking for something I'm going to be wailing on every night at the local club...really...something to bang around on at home...and be a conversation piece...which that surely would be.

                              What would you all pay for that guitar?

                                  Like I said...I have a Green '82ish Fender Strat that will always be my main guitar...

                                  I've never had an Eddie striped job before...and it'd be cool to have...and green to boot.

                                      No more than $200 - $250 with shipping...

                                      A properly set-up epiphone can be a nice guitar...

                                      The only thing that would turn me off is no dots on the neck...

                                      I like to glance down and know where my hand is...

                                          Wasn't sure I liked that at first but I think it's a grower .
                                          And epiphones are cool if its just for banging away round the house.

                                              150 to 200.

                                              Looks like the sobe was a limited release.

                                              I have a cheap epiphone that I got at a pawn shop that I use for learning slide stuff. For that purpose it's excellent.

                                                  I looked a little closer & that $75 job was busted & sold for parts. So don't factor that one in. If the one you are going for is in good shape I would go $150 - $200. Even at $250 you shouldn't have buyers remorse though. As long as you actually play it & it isn't in a closet getting dusty (like mine are).
