Description
What makes this guitar special? This is a tenured Les Paul with excellent tone and playability and small scars to show it was not only well-loved but also often played. The flame maple top on this guitar looks absolutely awesome, as the maple grains tighten up closer to the match line and widen as they approach the binding, while the evenly-spaced and vibrant flaming runs perpendicular. The cream binding is a great complement between the streaks of rosewood and Honeyburst top as well. The Burstbucker pickups sound great and supply tons of full, warm, and rich tone with a hotter and brighter bridge sound. The body has enough small marks here and there to save the next owner some worry about adding any of their own, yet is clean enough to still look fantastic while playing.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does show various nicks, dings, dents, chips, scuffs, and scratches, but still remains pretty clean and still looks and plays great. The frets show only light wear and still have a considerable amount of playing time left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.
Body: Mahogany body with bound flame maple top in Honeyburst. Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Gold bell knobs.
Neck: Slim D shape mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays. Vintage-style tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut width.
Electronics: Gibson Burstbucker #1 in the neck and Burstbucker #2 in the bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 9 lbs 4 oz
Playability/Sound: The slim D shape neck is an easy-playing shape especially for leads, from the nut to the cutaway. The pickups are rich and full in both positions with the bridge boasting a bit hotter and brighter response as it should.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
