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:

"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
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.
Psychic j and a....
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

“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
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...Originally Posted by POJO_Risin
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.
fuck your fucking framing
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).
Yeah that was weird. Can the dots be added easily?

too easy man.
Silver paint marker? Yes. Mother of Pearl inlay kit and a Dremel? Not so much.
So, it's at $160, and he lost the gig bag...and he's "firm" on the price. I could give a shit less about the gig bag, to be honest, but it was part of the limited release. There were only 500 made...
I don't know...would u guys do $160?
And yeah...didn't like the dot-less-ness...
Damn... ya beat me to it. You gotta be quick around here...
My karma just ran over your dogma.
I don't know your financial situation ($160 is a TON for me right now).....but I'd say go for it. That's right in the zone of price, it's a limited guitar, looks great, and most importantly you want it & it will make you happy. Worst case you don't like it & resell on ebay and only lose like $25 - $40.
Do they make stickers? I know that sounds cheesy. But some decals are nice & stay stuck a long time.
It's a ton for me right now as well...with Xmas....
You can do a lot worse than that for $160...
Tell him to come up with the bag...
I really like the way it looks. Wonder how they snuck that past Ed...
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
I already did...he said he had another bag...but I want the fucking one with Sobe...I'm going to end up getting it either way...
Maybe the porn wife struck a deal with Sobe?...well...no...because they made them in 2004...
So...maybe manbreast Midler made some sort a deal while Eddie was drunk in a corner...
I would say $160 for a used bolt on Epi LP is about right.
I personally will never buy bolt on neck guitars unless they are Fender, but that is just my preference.
Looks interesting. And welcome back to the club that is Rock Guitarists!
It's not a bolt on...
That'd cost more than the guitar is worth.
Drill press, Forstner bit, Gorilla Glue.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
$160? Fair enough..............
$200.00 tops...................................
