My Strat is a 2001 MIM Fender Strat in pretty good shape overall. Only real cosmetic wear is 2 small scratches/dings. Plays great, everything works, neck is solid. I swapped the stock pickups for some cheap 50s style pickups because I liked the sound more, but they weren’t expensive or anything crazy.

Guy offered me a straight trade for his Epiphone Les Paul Standard. From the pics his guitar has a pretty noticeable chip on the body, scratches on the back, and overall looks more worn than mine.

I’ve always wanted a Les Paul, but I’m trying to figure out if I’d be making a dumb trade here or if it’s fair enough. What would you do?
