Now 19 years old and completely unmodified this is the last of the early spec 2000’s Les Pauls. The guitar is in fantastic condition and sounds monstrous thanks to its traditional weight relieved body. Despite some misunderstanding Gibson have used this type weight relief on Les Paul Standards since 1983, with the “chambered” (full chambering) and “modern” weight relief starting in late 2007 – 2012.

This particular guitar is a fantastic player and has been well cared for with nothing significant to speak of. The headstock has a very minor amount of checking around the logo which is normal for these guitars. There are no significant dings, damage, dents or knocks to report. Just some very minor surface marks from play, a few minor impressions here and there and some minor buckle rash. All ageing we’d associate with careful use. Please see our photos, where we have bounced harsh and direct light to view imperfections. Please keep in mind the guitar is a 19 year old used guitar.

These guitars are now highly sought after amongst players and collectors alike as the era is re-known for great woods, hand-wired electronics and beautiful maple tops. This particular guitar was shipped with a scratch-plate (not fitted) and has the desirable slim 60’s (non-asymmetric) neck carve. Hand wired electronics feature along with vintage style push in bushing tuners. The guitar features Incredible woods throughout and a beautiful select maple top along with a dark tight grain rosewood board.

Plugged in the guitar sounds excellent and is very smooth sounding with plenty of grit should you need. Gibson Burstbuckers are standard equipment on these guitars capturing the sound of the 50’s slightly underwound PAF, with a bell-like clear sound. A pickup introduced on the Gary Moore model in year 2000 and still in production today.

The original Gibson hardcase with pickguard is included. The case locking latch is missing/broken.
