Why would you buy this?

[tubedude]

To remind me not to buy another Gibson and risk another headstock division.

If you believe all the BS on the internet, it’ll be a perfect fit for all that’s left of your poor Gibson headstock after a light breeze.

Perfect for my Les Cust guitar.

The screw is a separate listing.

$9 plus $10 shipping.

Honestly I don't mind people making trash available - maybe someone else can actually use it. But sell it for a penny + actual shipping. Trying to get a profit is just silly imo.

If that thing was whole it would be a very "reasonable" price.
I once bought a Les Paul pickguard new(and whole) and that thing cost
me 40€ for the plastic and 20€ for the little bracket thingy.
Just saying, Gibson knows the value of their plastics... and the stupidity
of their fanbois, apparently.

Good file, couple hours and you could shape a useless pick.

That would be a steal if I could plant it in the ground and grow a Les Paul. Otherwise it’s literally trash.

I see crap like that listed on Craigslist too.
