2017 Gibson S Series Les Paul Custom Special Electric Guitar

Overview: It's a strange one, huh? It's like a "slab Paul" but with a bit of arm-curve on the bass side of the body and an aesthetic that's more like an old National or Kay electric from the '60s. The way the neck is set looks a bit like PRS offerings, too. I love the tone and feel -- it really does remind me more of a '60s garage-rock guitar than it does a traditional Paul-style guitar and it really likes a bit of drive to get it going. It's been played-in enough to give it a warm, old-friend sort-of feel and it's easy on the eyes, too.

Repairs included: I leveled/dressed the frets, cleaned it up a bunch, and set it up. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
