Sold-1995 Gibson Les Paul Custom - Wine Red

What's Hot

SOLD

1995 Gibson Les Paul Custom

Built in the good wood era of the nineties

2-piece Maple cap/mahogany Body

Mahogany neck not quite a 60s or 50s neck profile but on the slimmer end towards a 60s type.

Ebony fretboard

All pickups and electrics original

Finished in Wine Red

Grovers were changed out for a set of Gotoh machine heads - before my ownership.

Condition: Finish has some signs of crazing, some dents on front and rear.

Right hand tip of headstock has had a knock at some point with a small section of binding missing with a paint chip.

Finish wear on the back of the neck around the 5th fret.

Lacquer has started to yellow on the binding.

Gold hardware finish has worn in places.

Frets are good with some life left.

No headstock/neck breaks or repair.

Will require a setup and I’m inept at trying to setup guitars also.

Also comes with a Hardcase that is well used.

Great guitar with plenty of mojo - by no means is it immaculate but in good condition.

 £Sold

Based in Stamford, Lincolnshire near Peterborough.

    Thanks Harry, it’s a looker and once it’s had a little fettling it’ll be a cracker!

    Unfortunately I favor chunky necks so this sits being neglected.

    Looks as though it’s been played by someone with a thumb ring, fair price though GLWTS

    Thanks, I have no idea as I’ve never worn one...it’s bad enough playing with a wedding ring on but it could well be.

    It’s so difficult to gauge a price on used things these days.

    I had a rather sweet old Tele I for some fretwork and it had  a very similar wear mark on the neck and when I asked about it,  he showed me his thumb ring, I did say THUMB ;) and you could see the point of contact

    Are you sure that’s what he said? One ring to rule them all?  =)
