Description
What makes this guitar special? Dark and deluxe, this Les Paul Custom is in the upper echelon of what Gibson can really produce. Between its ebony finish, dark richlite fingerboard, black multi-ply pickguard and black speedknobs, this guitar has a distinctly dark aesthetic that still pops thanks to a combination of high gloss, tuxedo binding, chrome hardware – and, of course, the classic Les Paul look. Its pair of humbuckers produce a full range of traditional tone, complete with the timeless chunk and body the brand is known for. It may have some heft, but so did the originals, a mark of its adherence to the early designs, and whether you sit down or stand up, there will be little doubt how true of a Les Paul it really is. Plus, it’s still super clean for a used guitar, includes its original hardshell case and case candy, and includes a professional setup so it’s ready to shred as soon as it’s tuned up.
Condition: This Les Paul Custom is in excellent condition overall, if not better. It only has a few light surface scratches throughout the body and neck, but otherwise shows very few signs of wear. The neck is straight, the truss rod functions as it should, and the frets barely show any wear at all.
