Hauler @Hauler which would you choose?

Probably going with the white les paul classic. Used but good price and comes with new hard body case.

Second choice probably go with the hollow body with Bixby hardware Screenshot_20210502-221401_Samsung Internet.jpgScreenshot_20210502-221316_Samsung Internet.jpgScreenshot_20210502-221233_Samsung Internet.jpgScreenshot_20210502-221142_Samsung Internet.jpg

Just trying to he helpful. Using the right name will make looking up info easier.
It's also called a tailpiece. Speaking of which, can you determine this one? It's on an sg 400 pro. It's definitely not OEM and I would think it would devalue the guitar.Screenshot_20210503-120220_Samsung Internet.jpg

Little bummed I couldn't get the white les paul but hell of a deal at$300 for guitar and case.
20210503_123238.jpgIts an '09 not a scratch on it. Not high end by any means, but it will look good on the wall and sound like 2 cats fucking when I play it!

Bigsby can be a type of tailpiece but most tailpieces aren't Bigsby's.

Regarding that guitar, it appears to be some aftermarket knockoff Bigsby and in my opinion yes, would devalue the guitar. Personally if I wanted an SG I'd save a little more and look for a used Gibson Faded so Special. They usually run in the $7-800 range. A Gibson SG standard can be found around $1k with some patience.

I don't need to save, just more than I wanted to spend based on how little I actually play.
The les paul custom wouldve been nice but I'm happy with the SG400 I got it at a great price so I'm happy.
Maybe if I dedicate time to playing consistently I'll look into getting something high end

KJP is awesome, I've seen him live a couple of times. Last time was like 15 years ago in a small town outside of Austin. There were only like 15 people there.....it was awesome. I bought him a beer after his set.
i saw him open for BB King in ~ 95.

stole the show. Last time I saw him was a few years ago when I lived in PDX. IIRC he lives in WA, but I saw him a bunch when I lived up there.
