Gibson Les Paul Standard
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The Les Paul Standard is still the reference point for the whole production Les Paul market, which means buyers use it as both the ideal and the baseline. It needs to look right, feel right and avoid unnecessary stories, because there are always other Standards available. The strongest used examples are the ones that still read as complete, confident Gibsons rather than as formerly expensive guitars that accumulated random changes.
Individual Listings (Used Market)
Used-condition sales and current used listings. Brand New listings excluded.
Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $1,825 and $2,650; anything under $1,825 is worth a close look. Prices have been largely flat (-1.3%) vs. 12 months ago. The market is predictable month to month.
This is a liquid market at ~24/month in recent sales — buyers have leverage and can afford to wait for the right example.
Condition has a moderate effect on price (~18% spread from clean to worn). Player-grade examples represent reasonable value.

Vintage-voiced alternative at a similar price: no weight relief, no coil splits — a more orthodox spec.
