SOLD FS/FT Gibson Les Paul Standard 2002 Heritage Cherry Sunburst 50's Neck - NEW PRICE DROP

JonP

With great sadness it is time to let this go.

This is a classic and superb guitar. Owned by me from new and although gigged a little it has always been used mostly as a spare in case my Strat broke down! 2002 model. Single piece solid mahogany back with no weight relieving holes - yet still not too heavy.  Top has just the right amount of flame and  the finish has mellowed to the most fantastic almost vintage sheen. Pickups are original Burstbuckers but I changed the wiring some time ago to 50's style. Sounds amazing. Frets are perfect. Jack socket surround was replaced with a metal one a long time ago having broken a couple of cream plastic ones. Straplocks fitted - I may have the originals somewhere but cannot promise. The guitar has a really playable action. Neck is perfect.

Has lived in its case for the last 4 years except when my cat knocked over the case with the result of broken headstock(!!!!!) which has been invisibly repaired by Andy Petherick from Brook guitars - see last 2 photos - it is impossible to tell!!!  Well done Andy.

Condition is excellent for 20 years old. There are some indentations on the back but very difficult to photo - nothing even close to breaking the finish. The odd little mark around the guitar but - as you can see in the photos - nothing serious. It just looks right!!!
£1500 NOW £1300

Looking to trade for wood bodied resonator - preferably spider cone but.......

I'm nowhere near Cornwall, nor do I have the pocket money spare, but that is a stunning neck repair! It's invisible!

I have tried and tried but the repair cannot be seen. Brook Guitars showed the repair on their website as an example of Andy's work! Glue is stronger than wood!

Blimey!, I have to say, I'm mighty impressed with that neck repair, at least with that photo anyway, well done Andy.

It is not just the photo!!! There is NO evidence of repair. I agree 'well done Andy'

I am looking for £1500 collected from North Cornwall . I will not post - for obvious reasons - but could meet up if required.

Change to acoustic means I may be interested in a trade for a quality - solid wood - Classical Guitar - preferably Cedar/Rosewood.

Great neck repair. Is this a Les Paul Standard, or a Traditional or a Classic or something else, and what’s the neck profile like? Thanks.

Hi - it is a 'standard' with a '50's' neck - but it feels 'thinner' than you would expect. Very comfy and easy to play.

Bump

JonP

Stormy day bump

JonP

I know a lot of interest is in the neck repair!!!!!!!! If I had not shared pictures nobody could tell. I decided to keep it, because it is a fantastic Les Paul, but not playing electric live anymore so my Strat will do for electric and I want funds to buy something nice and acoustic!!

JonP

Bump!!!
