How much is a 1998 Gibson the paul sl worth?

Answer 1

This is probably the best kept secret among serious guitar collectors. These Guitars were manufactured for one year only - for one year only. In another year or two these will be considered vintage. Some collectors are quietly buying all they can get their hands on. It will, no doubt, one day become one of the rarest and most valuable Gibson guitars ever produced. As far as the value now, it depends on the color (the spearmint green being the rarest) and the hardware (the gold hardware being the most desirable). These guitars have the same hardware as the studio and standard Les Pauls, and play and sound just as well, according the professional musicians. If you have a 98 "The Paul SL", keep it, keep it, keep it. Put it in a hard case, and be patient just a few years. If you know where you can purchase one in good shape for less than a thousand dollars, remembering that the painted are worth more than the stained, buy it, buy it buy it.
