FS: 2008 Gibson Les Paul Custom, Alpine White (now gone)
Hi All.
Time to move on my Les Paul.
I have been the only owner. I bought it brand new in the States.
It's not a case queen, it has been gigged extensively, but never abused. The frets are in decent shape for the age, the action is low, the electrics function silently, the fretboard is Ebony. Neck angle is good as per pics; bridge is nice and low; no need to top wrap this one...
The ding on the top is my fault. An errant wah pedal was the cause. The finish cracking on the back is just age. Some of the patina will lighten up with some polish, and I am happy to buff it out, but I like the played look, and I figure some others might prefer the slightly more yellowed look, too. Buyer preference on that one.
Will be freshly restrung and I'll give it a detail, and the board an oil etc before sale.
Control knobs have been replaced with top hats. The original speed knobs all disintegrated. These are genuine Gibson replacements. I could have gone with like for like, but I preferred the look of these. Other than the knobs, guitar is all original. I'll leave the Schaller strap locks on it, and I believe I still have the original buttons too, so will include those.
The only thing I couldn't immediately find was the truss rod wrench. I'll update accordingly around that.
Located nr Spalding, Lincolnshire.
Collection, please. I do not want to post a Gibson. Hence, I would be willing to meet up halfway, so long as it's realistic. Plus, I'd welcome anyone to come try it before buying, but I don't think you'd be disappointed.
Looking for £2650.
I'm also looking for an R8/9, so perhaps something could be done there.

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
