FT- luthier modded one-off Les Paul. Let’s trade!

If you are a Les Paul purist, passionate about original Les Paul’s- stop right here and run the other way. But, if you are a player who likes unique, one of a kind instruments that stand out from all the generic off-the-rack stuff, then this might be for you. I build, modify, customize and repair guitars- everything from hand built bodies, to partscasters, to restoring vintage Fenders and Gibsons. I just love projects, and I get pleasure out of the work itself. Then I end up with more cool instruments than I can use. So, here is this unique Les Paul named Margarita. It started life as a 2011 red Gibson Les Paul Studio. A friend of mine stripped it, and re-sprayed it in a custom blended color that to me looks like a margarita. As a joke, he put a “Gibson Custom Shop” sticker on the back of the headstock. I traded some parts to him for the husk (bare body and neck). Then the fun began. The installed hardware includes Gotoh locking tuners, Faber bridge and tailpiece, a pair of Duncan Phat Cat humbucker size P-90’s and a Cavalier Tele pickup. Yes, this is a HSH Les Paul! Plastic includes a custom cut black pickguard, a “ Margarita” truss rod cover, a “Rocks/Frozen” pick up selector chip and black knobs. And it comes with a Gibson USA hard case. This guitar looks so cool, and is totally unique. Now, let’s talk about the wiring. Each pickup has its own volume control. The bridge Phat Cat and the middle pickup share a tone control and are both wired to the bridge position on the 3-way pick up selector. So, you use each pickups volume control to blend the two pickups or run one on and one off. The neck pickup is wired normally, except it has no tone control. That means in the middle position, you can get any combination of the three pickups by adjusting their respective volume controls. There are all kinds of stratty, tele-ish tones to be found. It takes a few minutes to get used to it, but it yields so many tones. Oh, and all 3 pickups have variable treble bleed circuits, so you can adjust their respective amount, or lack thereof, of treble roll off with volume cuts. Like I said, this is a one-off unusual guitar, but it is much more versatile than a stock LP. I have no idea how to value this guitar. Some might say it’s worth nothing as a weird Frankenstein. Others might think it’s the coolest thing ever. I know that just the components and case cost about $1,000, not counting the cost of the body and paint job. I’m looking to trade it exactly because I don’t know how to value it. If someone digs it and has an interesting guitar or amp to offer in trade, I’ll listen. I’m not going to give it away for some cheap POS item, though. Things like a small 15-30 watt tube combo amp or a MIM fender guitar, or on up from there. If you’ve got an amp or guitar that’s decent that you aren’t using, let’s talk. Lastly, THIS IS NOT A CHIBSON. The whole point of fake guitar is to make it look as much like an actual production that it tricks a buyer into paying a high price for a fake knock off. This looks nothing like anything Gibson makes. It’s basically a Gibson partscaster.
