Le Paul Guitar Auction: Aged 2008 Gibson Les Paul, Custom Shop 57 Reissue


Aged 2008 Gibson Les Paul, Custom Shop 57 Reissue Les Paul Guitars Auction Description: Incredible Guitar! Started out as a 2008 Les Paul Custom Shop 57 Reissue Goldtop. Weighing Only 9 pounds! Then the top was stripped and refinished with a Sunburst, just like what was used back in 1958-1960, "The Les Paul Standard Sunburst". It was fairly common for those Hippies to strip their goldtop and have them sunburst, which was THE color then! Gibson is even doing it now on a few Custom Shop Reissues, http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-Refin-1955-Les-Paul-Electric-Guitar?sku=430449Well back then the stains were not very colorfast so the red disappeared as they faded. The red under the Pickguard is still there and much brighter. This guitar was done with the same type of stains and has been fading over the last year. Then a very thin Nitrocellous Finish was applied, so that the guitar could resonate at it's Best. She was also upgraded with Seymour Duncan Pickups, The neck is a SH-2N Jazz and the bridge a SH-4 JB. That's when I got her!"Available in both neck and bridge models. Often a Jazz neck is paired with an SH-4 JB (Seymour's favorite combination) or SH-5 Duncan Custom in the bridge position for diverse tones." Check them out!http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/progressive/sh4_jb_model/http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/progressive/sh2_jazz_model/The Control Cavity has Paper in Oil Caps. and Push/Pull Tone knobs for splitting the Humbuckers. I took over adding the ageing and TonePros Locking Studs to the Tailpiece and Two sets of Thumbwheels to the Bridge for added Strength and Sustain. Try and find a burst with this dark a back, I have never seen one! This is so dark it looks like black. I find that Les Pauls of 9 pounds or less have the best tone. Not chambered or weight relieved they sound good but not as good as a solid body. A cool site to check out the early sunburst and most have faded and look just like this guitar.http://home.provide.net/~cfh/lpsun.htmlMore Pictures at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6uiOi8LxV4&feature=player_profilepageThink I covered everything please ask questions?Anyone with less than 10 feedback and/or negative must email before biddingInternational buyers must contact me first to talk about shipping etc.All bidders must have confirmed PayPal addressesReturns are not accepted, I go out of my way to be careful describing the items and providing good clear pictures.
