Gibson Les Paul Standard 2002

 

Stunning AA Flamed Maple top finished in Wine Red
60's neck, thinner and faster than the chunky 50's model.
Rosewood fretboard, all frets in good condition, set up with 10's at the moment.
Burstbucker Pro pickups (standard fitment)
Very clean, hardly played, very light buckle rash on rear (hardly noticable, not through laquer)

 

 

This stunning quitar comes with original black Gibson plush lined case and new (never fitted) single ply scratchplate and fitting kit.

 

This is a very clean example of a truly stunning guitar, it's hardly been played (and certainly never gigged in my ownership), there is some very light buckle rash on rear (not through laquer).

The tone and sustain is unbelievable. In the words of Spinal Tap, you could go and have a bite and you'd still be hearing it...Sadly it must go as I can not justify having such a professional instrument while on the downward slope (I bought it on a bit of a whim 2 years ago, thinking I was more of a guitar hero than I actually am!).

Les Paul Standards of identical spec are currently retailing at over £1450 on GAK and CODA's online stores:

 

I am also including a thick, high quality Gibson USA guitar strap and strap locks (as well as the original strap buttons).

There is a receipt in the case from the previous owner who had a fret dress and set up done at Chandler Guitars in 2004.

 

 

Here are the (very minor) issues that this guitar has:

 

There is a small amount of tarnishing on the pickup covers and bridge, I haven't polished this out as it adds to the vintage look (I'm sure it could easily be polished out if required).
There is a slight mark on the rear of the body near the neck joint, this is a dent in the laquer and does not penetrate through the finish. It was really hard to photograph this, you cannot see it in the other pics of the rear of the guitar.
There is also a small chip in the lower body (which cannot been seen unless you really look for it) I'm sure this could be repaired easily if required.
