Description
What makes this guitar special:A super rad first year Les Paul 55 with an ultra cool vintage vibe.The guitar is basically a Special with a pair of killer sounding P-90 single coils.Super smooth neck coupled with a very resonant mahogany body makes for a perfect rockin’ combination.The unoriginal Leo Quan Baddass bridge is a nice upgrade & allows for more fine tuning intonation.Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!
Cosmetic Condition:Good honest play wear which lends credence to its authentic vintage vibe – various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, light buckle rash & some finish wear.The number 2 is pressed into the back of the headstock just above the serial number, indicating the guitar was a factory second.Exactly why is impossible to say, but there are no issues with the guitar structurally or electronically.Overall it has a great look to it with a wonderful patina.
Neck:Slender profile mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots.Dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.Original frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.Five of the Gibson Deluxe tuners are original; the G tuner is a replacement, but looks similar to the others.It’s a single lip instead of a double, but they are all in perfect working condition.1 11/16″ nut width; 24 3/4″ scale length.Neck is straight & truss rod is in perfect working condition.
Body:Single cutaway, solid mahogany body in sunburst finish.The original wrap-around bridge was replaced with a Leo Quan Badass bridge with adjustable saddles.5-ply black pickguard is in great shape with no cracks.Guitar weighs 7 lbs 13.9 oz.
