Description
What makes this guitar special: This is a great modded vintage Les Paul through and through. The mahogany figuring alone is enough to make this guitar stand above many others, especially with swooping waves across the treble bout of its 3-piece body. It comes loaded with a Schaller humbucker in the neck and a DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge, both of which are very hot and output a ton of chunky response in the neck and crunch in the bridge. The slim to medium neck plays beautifully from the nut to the cutaway, and with its worn frets and low action, will be perfect for a player who needs little clearance to execute their playing.
Condition: This guitar is in good condition overall. It does have various dings, dents, nicks, scuffs, scratches, chips, gauges, and other forms of wear, but still remains fully functional and still plays well for an instrument nearing 40 years old. The frets do show some mild to heavier wear but still play pretty well and still have some life left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning. The case is in fair condition and has a missing handle and broken lock/latch.
Body: 3-piece single-cutaway mahogany body in Natural finish. Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Black speed knobs (two replaced).
Neck: Slim to medium depth C shape 3-piece mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays. Replaced Schaller tuning machines. 1 5/8” nut width.
Electronics: Schaller humbucker in the neck and DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector. 1 x coil tap switch (disconnected).
Neck: 13.34k Ohms
Bridge: 13.34k Ohms
Weight: 8 lbs 11.7 oz
Playability/Sound: The neck plays as good as any from the nut to the cutaway and is worn enough to feel right at home from the first time you pick it up. The pickups are both nice and hot and have a ton of chunk in the neck and crunch in the bridge.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
