You got it. Gibson Les Paul Traditional. Probably 1100 to 1200 value. Florida Man pawned it. He's everywhere.
Edit: oh, the 1st one, you meant. "Replica" is a word.that comes to mind.

It was disappointing today when there on the wall for sale was the same Les Paul from yesterday. sigh. Guess they decided it was legal enough for them to sell anyway.

It turns out there is either payoffs going on to an officer or someone isnt doing their job. The pawn officer I was talking to wasn't assigned to that store. And I believe it's instead a county jurisdiction. I'd called a day after taking my receipt down to the station to confirm there wasnt a mistake with this Les Paul serial. This time it was the pawn division officer on the line. When he heard that it had already gone thru 65 day pawn hold he said there were multiple guitars from Guitar Center showing at the store. The GC said only 1 which just confused me more thinking it was still a mistake. The officer sounded really perturbed but thanked me for calling and bringing this to his attention. Meaning he sounded angry but not at me.
Today the pawn shop told me the police showed up to put a police hold on 3 stolen guitars from GC. So the officer over that store is either in on it or not doing his/her job.

Definitely in on it. But I bet Gibson would love the details.
