Description
Condition: Various scratches, nicks, dents and dings throughout the instrument. There are some heavy pick scratches on the pickguard and some areas of the finish on the top that have worn through to the bare wood likely as a result of picking. The most obvious wear is between the two pickups and along the bottom edge where some of the finish has also worn off. There is some buckle rash and thick scratches on the back. Fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear with heavier play wear towards the lower registers. The neck is very straight and the truss rod functions fine. The original nut has been upgraded to a bone nut. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Solid mahogany body in faded cherry finish. Stop-Bar Tailpiece, Tune-O-Matic bridge, gold skirted controls knobs and a single-ply black pickguard.
Neck: Slender mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, pearloid trapezoid inlays and a 1 11/16” bone nut. Vintage-style Gibson Deluxe tuners with ivoroid buttons, 24 ¾” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: Patent Applied For humbuckers in the neck and bridge with dual volume and tone controls and a 3-way selector switch.

Playability/Sound: This is a great example of a faded Les Paul Studio. This particular guitar is very resonant with a great transfer of vibration and sound through the neck and body. The humbuckers sound great and offer anything from a clean tone with plenty of sparkle to a thick, rich distortion with plenty of sustain.
Case: Includes a gig bag.
