A week later, the same guy I bought the '72 Tele from sold me a Les Paul with it's iconic molded case - a factory second in perfect condition - for another $300, which I sold to a private dealer for $1600. He said it was so nice he wasn't going to resell it, just add it to his collection. When I told him it was a factory second with the word SECOND deeply stamped into the back of the headstock, he said it didn't matter because once you buy one they're all seconds.
