Le Paul Guitar Auction: Gibson Les Paul Traditional 2009 - MINT - GOLD TOP

Les Paul Guitars Auction Description: Gibson Les Paul Traditional 2009 - MINT - GOLD TOP NO RESERVE - IT'S GOTTA GO! Original owner - only had it a few months. Incredible guitar, but I hardly play it (more of a strat kinda guy), and a studio project is sucking cash, so several infrequent players got to go. Thanks! CONDITION:Not much to say other than MINT. Comes with original case as pictured. I don't have a good scale, but my crappy half pound digital says it's between 9 and 9.5 pounds. Note: If you're a nit-picky person, please don't buy from me - guitars that have been played/handled, especially thin skin lacquer finishes show some "flaws:" swirls, rubs, fine hairline lines, etc. However, this Gibson LP Traditional is perfect, but I'm sure a magnifying glass and the right light would find "something."

SHIPPING:- Flat rate of $55 for UPS Ground, including insurance- Within 3 business days of payment.- Continental U.S. only! (Please do not ask if I will ship internationally.)- Professionally packed. From Gibson:Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls of the 80s and 90s, the Les Paul Traditional starts with an un-chambered mahogany body with traditional weight-relief holes for a beefy tone that maintains the resonance of modern Les Paul. Each Les Paul Traditional also comes with Gibson USA's standard black snakeskin case. Weight-relieved Mahogany BodySatisfying the call in the early 1980s to make a lighter Les Paul, Gibson engineers came up with the idea of placing strategically routed holes in the Les Paul body to lessen the weight of the guitar. After trying several patterns, the final configuration of holes resulted in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance. This same period-correct pattern is used in the Les Paul Traditional. The body itself is made from premium mahogany, and it goes through the same rigorous processes as all the wood used by Gibson USA. Pickups: Neck - 57 Classic; Bridge - 57 Classic PlusAmong the qualities that make Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their productions"1955 to 1961"Gibson's PAF humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone. The 57 Classic and 57 Classic Plus pickups are the result of Gibson drive to capture and recreate this characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the 57 Classic provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. The 57 Classic Plus is the perfect bridge-position companion to the 57 Classic, inspired by those original PAFs that received a few extra turns of wire. Both are made by Gibson to the exact same specs as the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, two-conductor braided wiring. Gibson added poly-coated wiring, which improves consistency by eliminating thick or thin spots on the wiring, and wax potting, which removes all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback. Revolutionary Plek Set UpThe Les Paul Traditional is the first model from Gibson USA to utilize the revolutionary Plek machine in setting up the guitar. The Plek is a German-made, computer-controlled machine that carefully measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string, and then automatically dresses each fret, virtually eliminating string buzz and greatly improving the overall playability of the guitar. This pioneering process does in minutes what it takes a luthier several hours"sometimes even days"to accomplish. Every fret is accurately aligned, and the guitar is properly intonated, leaving the instrument "Plek'd" and amazingly playable.
