SOLD - 2018 Gibson Les Paul Classic P90 Black

abw1989

I've decided that it's time to let this one go. I'm just not a P90 guy no matter how hard I try. It hasn't got the use it deserves for a few months now and humbuckers have become my go to.

Surprisingly for one of my guitars, this one is all stock. There are a couple of marks from the previous owner which I've done my best to photograph; one on the back of the neck around the 12th fret, on the top where the fool had the pickguard fitted and one near the toggle switch cover on the rear. There is also some buckle rash/worming to the rear.

The case and all the case candy is there including the baby photo, COA, multi tool and Gibson strap. The original truss rod cover with 'Classic' on it and the poker chip are in there too.

It's a none-relief body so, surprise surprise, fairly weighty coming in at around 4.7kg on my bathroom scales. It does however, sustain wonderfully as a result!

I'm saying collection or local meet up purely because I don't have a box suitable for shipping. If you want to send a box and organise a courier to pick up, I'm happy to pack and send you pictures before it goes to make sure you are happy with how I've done it. I'm based in Leamington Spa.

The prices seem to be fairly wide on these at the moment with a couple on Reverb for £1650 and £1800 which I think is generous!

I'll say £1300.

Trade wise, there is only one thing I'm after at the moment: Gibson Midtown Custom in Tobacco.

Lovely. I like the bright white binding against the black, pure class

You've all been far more polite than the comments on Facebook Market place which were mostly 'JuSt rOUtE iT fOr HuMbUcKeRs ThEn'

thats one sexy guitar and my love of p90s is tempting but I doubt I could ever let my Midtown go even though its black not sunburst. 
Now my flying V might be another story lol, I still have a love hate relationship with it. Think its too metal until I play it and realize I love it.

Fear not, your Midtown is safe, I already have a black one...! I want another to keep in Eb tuning.

I'm not a LP fan but that looks extremely cool. I too like the contrast between the pure white binding and the black, and P90s look great on a LP.  If I had to have a LP, this would be it.  GLWTS.

If you decide you fancy trying a Rickenbacker instead of a midtown, give me a shout.
