GUITAR – Is 1300 dollars too much if you don't play on stage?
I have always wanted a Gibson Les Paul, and a beautiful one is sold by a Guitar Center near my house. But it is $1300. I play a lot and want to continue to play, like a hobby forever. And don't these instruments last a lifetime? Would you guys say this is too much money for a guitar when I am not playing on stage, just at home with friends and their basses and other guitars.
And also, right now I have an Epiphone, but am not a big fan of it.
No, $1300 is a good price to pay for a good guitar. But I'd really like to encourage you to not get one of the Les Paul Studio's (i'm guessing it's one of the alpine white ones with an ebony fretboard..?), and to shop around to get a better guitar. I actually was set on getting one of those myself, but then I talked to a guy that owns a small guitar shop that I take lessons at and he was able to find a Premium Plus Standard (lists for $4600) for $1900. A lot better quality and a much better investment for not a whole lot more money.

If u want my opinion I think that is alright for a guitar considering u play alot. I have seen guitars about 10x the amount of that, but guitars break also or wear out so it's really up 2 u.

As long as you're going to use it a lot and arn't quiting anytime soon, then 1300 is a fine price
