2016 Gibson Les Paul Studio '50s Tribute Electric Guitar

Overview: I've known this goldtop, modern Paul for the last five or six years. It's been a stable, reliable guitar for its owner and it's "aged-in" kinda nicely with some finish weather-check here and there and a growing light-use patina throughout.


Interesting features: It's got a handsome satin finish over the gold paint of the top. The decorative touches are on the no-frills side but it does have nice fretboard inlay. The hardware is all in good order and the entire guitar appears original throughout. The pickups are a bit more aggressive than vintage humbuckers, though they still have good treble and upper-mids response. They can definitely "bark out" if you want them to, though.


Repairs included: I think Sarah gave it a level/dress of the frets and setup. It's playing bang-on and ready to go.

It comes with: It's got a hard case but it's not an original one.
