Description
What makes this guitar special: This is a killer Les Paul in every facet. The pickups are truly the highlight as they output monstrous amounts of classic humbucker tone. The neck is warm and full and perfectly embodies the timeless tone of the Les Paul neck position, while the bridge pickup is a bit hotter than most, hovering right around 13.5k with excellent bite and articulation that makes for head-turning leads. Surprisingly enough, this one weighs in just under 9 pounds, making it pleasantly light for a Les Paul, regardless if it’s being played standing or sitting. Its maple top is the perfect example of why guitars don’t need excessive flaming or quilting to show off the natural beauty of the tone woods that grace their faces, especially with a classic finish like Cherry Sunburst and perfectly aged binding and inlays to complement it. Plus, for being 25 years old, it is still in fantastic shape and has just enough small love marks to give it character, yet is clean enough to show off under stage lights.
Condition: This Les Paul is in very good condition overall. It does possess various nicks, dings, dents, scuffs, scratches, and other forms of normal wear, including a small crack in the pickguard near the upper screw, and a cracked pickup ring around neck pickup, but largely remains very clean for a guitar of its age. The frets show only light wear and still have a ton of playing time left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod functions as it should.
