hi all
anyone know of somewhere to buy a gibson body at a reasonable price? i'd like to do a small project ie installing electronics hardware & pickups myself but not have to do much if at all any real body work if you get me??
cheers

I know there is a guy on ebay in the states but with shipping I'm not sure how cheap it will be, not sure of his name but if you search on ebay you will find him. He strips gibsons and parts them out and his prices dont look great but I'ved heard he will take offers on stuff, its usually the faded series and studio's

worth keeping an eye on, maybe try and get in early and make an offer

He just sold a Les Paul Special Body & Neck for 306 dollars plus the shipping

I had been emailing that guy,he's in Italy and wanted me to pay for it sight unseen,and then via some handling agency,no thanks!!

it needed a hell of a lot of work anyway
