Hey guys.

I am in a dire search for a LP. I can buy a new one but to be honest I really don't want to buy one from the only place in town that sells them....and after talking to a few shop owners it appears that Gibson / Epi are pulling out of the smaller guitar shop market and going to the "Mega Mall" stores like GC.

So, if I decide to buy used from a pawn shop or flea market etc...what are some things to look for?

I know to check the neck for warpage, and I am fairly certain pluggin in will be hard if not impossible at some places (any way to check electronics without plugging in?)

Also what else should I be looking out for?
I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.
