Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 10, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 10, 2021 What's the guess? I think it is going to go for well over $500,000. Maybe it will end up in a museum one day, I hope so. As Les Paul himself put it in 2002: "Love to play, love to entertain, love to make people laugh, make 'em happy." Christie's has put a $100,000-150,000 estimate on the instrument. But Gene Paul wonders how you value history. When Mason asked What he hoped would happen to the guitar, Paul replied: "I'm gonna miss it, but I miss Dad more. He said to me one time, he said, 'Do you realize how many light bulbs Edison made before he got it?' And that kind of rings in my mind. 'What's Edison's first bulb worth?' That's how much it meant to Dad." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
