How much is this guitar worth?

Question

I want to sell a Gibson les paul custom shop guitar with a rare dark blue sparkle. The neck had been damaged about 10 years ago when it was bought from the original owner and was repaired by a local guitar shop. The neck problem never changed the sound or feel of the guitar. I would also sell it with a pink lining hard shell case. The rest of the guitar is in perfect condition. So how much would this guitar sell for? Thanks!

Need a lot more details than that, but it will be worth more than what the folks above said. Your best bet is to join the forum at http://www.mylespaul.com/ and ask there. You will need to post pictures of the guitar including a close up or two of the neck repair. You will also need to post the serial number. The custom shop has made so many guitars that very specific details are needed to identify the guitar. The folks on the MLP forum know their stuff. Most anything from the custom shop is worth some money, but it will depend on how limited the production of the guitar was, how bad the neck damage was, etc. If you have a Lifton case like below then that is a very good sign that it is a more valuable model.
