Gibson Les Paul Studio (, Real Ebony Fretboard)
This is a Gibson Les Paul Studio that I have owned since new. Bought in August . Don't go comparing this guitar to the Studio that you saw in your local guitar exchange at the weekend. This is a different kettle of fish altogether and far higher quality. Solid mahogany, with a solid maple cap and a flawless ebony fingerboard. You can't even get real ebony on a new Les Paul Custom nowadays. This one, being almost a quarter of a century old, has some of the classic wear that is associated with Gibson Les Pauls. There is some sweet yellowing of the trapezoid inlays and a gorgeous lacquer checking that runs across the body. From a distance it doesn't really show, but up close and under light it creates this fantastic 'cracked mirror' effect. Importantly, none of the body checking has exposed wood, so you get all the cool looks without it appearing tatty up close. One tiny ding on the edge of the body that no-one will notice (I think it was there for months before I did). '60s neck profile. Chrome hardware all in excellent condition. Weighs just over 9lbs. Has had a recent pro setup, with full fret level and dress. Plays incredibly smoothly and sounds great. Comes with a Hiscox hard case. Trades are unlikely, but feel free to offer.
