Some gear seems to always be "hot" like the deluxe reverb reissue and Gibson les Paul's! They are always popular.

The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

I've been on a "cheap Gibson" kick of sorts this year. First I got a blowout "Jr. Special" (dumb name) brand new (w/gigbag), a matte black LP Special with neck binding:
I figured that since I already had a Hamer Special, which is sorta like a doublecut version of the same guitar, plus a true hollowbody P-90 guitar (Casino) and a semi/chambered P-90 (WildKat), I was pretty much set for P-90 guitars.
I was wrong, haha!
A "Les Paul Melody Maker," which had been upgraded w/a GFS P-90, fell into my lap for cheap, on local craigslist:
I'd never had a single-pickup guitar, so this is sorta my cheapo faux "Junior."
Lastly, a bud lost this to a pawn a year or so ago, and it came back on the local market, also a Jr. Special, but with gloss finish and P-100 stacked buckers. I bought it so if he wants to re-buy it from me later he'll know where to find it.
So, within the space of a few months, I've picked up three Gibbies, albeit for about the same that you'd pay for a single new LP Studio.
Well, shoot, I went literally like 30 years before getting my first Les Paul, and iirc this was his first Les Paul, it was even signed to him on the back of the headstock (the guy who bought it took the sig off but the "ghost" image is still visible), so I know it has vibe and mojo for him. I started a new job this year making a bit more than previously, and plus some of my former clients have been giving me side work, so I could actually afford it, haha. And really it's a win-win, this is the only circumstance where I could get away with buying a second LP Special within a few months of already having bought a very similar guitar (especially since I already have a Hamer Special too), haha! And it's a cool guitar, played her Friday night!
