Description
What makes this guitar special: A faithful recreation of a '57 Les Paul Custom, this gorgeous guitar displays all the hallmarks that make it one of the most sought after Les Pauls on the market - a chunky neck with ebony fretboard, double humbuckers with gold hardware & all wrapped up in a slick ebony finish - a bonafide Black Beauty!
Cosmetic Condition: Used, but not abused with signs of play wear - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & buckle rash on the back of the body. There's some very light finish chipping along the neck, just below the binding. The gold has tarnished somewhat on the hardware, but for the most part is still quite strong. There are no breaks or repairs. Overall the guitar looks great & has a really nice vibe to it.
Neck: Chunky, one-piece mahogany neck with cream binding & black side-dots. Ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays. Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. 5-ply bound headstock with mother of pearl Gibson & diamond inlay. Grover Rotomatic "kidney" tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod functions fine.
Body: Solid mahogany body with maple cap. 7-ply bound top & 5-ply bound back. Stopbar tailpiece & ABR-1 bridge with gold hardware. 5-ply black pickguard shows some pick scratches, but no cracks. 3-ply black jackplate has a couple of tiny cracks in it. Guitar weighs 10.2 lbs.
Pickups: Gibson PAF neck humbucker & unoriginal USA bridge humbucker, both with gold covers & black bezels. Bridge - 13.69K ohms; Neck - 7.78K ohms. Dual volume & tone controls with black "top hat" knobs; 3-way toggle switch. All electronics are in perfect working condition.
Case: Original hardshell case included.
