Gibson Les Paul Custom

1988 CUSTOM SHOP LES PAUL, SIGNED BY LES PAUL, PURCHASED FROM RUDYS MUSIC ON 48TH IN 1994. THIS IS A SHOWCASE EDITION, ONLY 200 GUITARS WERE MADE IN THE YEAR FOR THIS PARTICULAR RUN. GUITAR IS FLAWLESS,  EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF SMALL HAIRLINE CRACKS AND I MEAN SMALL IN THE NECK BINDING,  IT'S IN UNBELIEVABLE CONDITION FOR A 22 YEAR OLD GUITAR, CHECK OUT THE GRAIN IN THE BACKOF THE NECK AND THE BODY, YOU DON'T SEE THAT TOO OFTEN IN THE NEWER PAULS.  I BELIEVE THE  FRETBOARD IS BRAZILIAN, VERY DARK AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF THOSE PITS AND CREVASSES THAT YOU SEE IN INDIAN ROSEWOOD, VERY RICH LOOKING, SAME AS MY SIG. PRS. THE P 90'S ARE REALLY NICE, SOFT BLUES OR CRANK IT UP WITH LOTS OF DISTORTION, THEY CAN HANDLE IT ALL. SINCE THIS IS THEONLY LES PAUL I'VE HAD, I CAN'T TELL YOU THE NECK PROFILE, I KNOW THERE WERE A FEW DIFFERENT PROFILES IN THEIR HISTORY, THE PROFILE OF THIS NECK IS VERY CLOSE TO THE PROFILE OF MY CUSTOM PRS WHICH IS STANDARD NECK PROFILE, IN GIBSON TERMS, I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A 60'S PROFILE, THE FRETS ARE ORIGINAL AND NO FRET WEAR TO SPEAK OF. ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE, YOU NEED PICTURES OF A PARTICULAR AREA, LET ME KNOW. I'VE BEEN SELLING MY COLLECTION AS OF RECENT, I DON'T PLAY THESE GUITARS, I HAVE A COUPLE OF CHEAPER GUITARS I PLAY AND ALL THE EXPENSIVE ONES SIT IN THEIR CASES. IF YOUR IN THE MARKET FOR A LES PAUL YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS GUITAR, IT'S A WORK OF ART AND WELL CARED FOR.  *****FREE SHIPPING WITH BUY IT NOW****, OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE CONTACTME BEFORE BIDDING, I'D LIKE TO GET THE SHIPPING FEES AGREED UPON FIRST....THANKS FOR CHECKING IT OUT.

I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS MAY HAVE P100 (STACKED PICKUPS) INSTEAD OF THE P90'S, I WILL LOOK INTO IT AND SEE IF I CAN VERIFY WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE P100'S.....   I'VE SINCE PULLED OUT THE NECK PICKUP AND THEY ARE P100'S, STACKED PICKUPS, 2 COILS......I UNDERSTAND GIBSON NO LONGER MAKES THESE PICKUPS, IT'S ASHAME, THEY'RE VERY WARM, QUIET PICKUPS, I ALSO READ THEY CAN BE MODIFIED TO BE SPLIT INTO SINGLE COIL.
