FS - Gibson Les Paul Special - SOLD Subject to final payment
What's Hot
I'm only selling this because another guitar has come along that I've wanted for years, and I have no other way of funding other than selling some stuff...
Gibson Les Paul Special - ex
@TTony and ex
@McToot and I believe it was a star of one of the early get together/meets, where all who played it agreed that this thing is a tone monster (jesus I hate that phrase, but it suits). I've gigged it extensively since, and it has picked up some buckle rash, some dents, some honest play wear (and a bit of dust). You'd pay loads for this if one of the boutique fellas had done their stuff with keys, sandpaper etc... It isn't the prettiest guitar but my god, does it sound good.
I have replaced the original pickups. There is now a wonderful set of Curtis Novak P90s on board which are balanced, chimey and gritty all in equal measures. They are pretty much straight copies of the 50s P90s and really are special. I don't have the original pickups any more.
The guitar will come in a Gibson gig bag - so I'm not going to post it/courier it etc, no matter what. I will agree to a meet up somewhere if necessary or you are most welcome to come to Daventry, Northants and play it through an amp before purchase.
The board has just been Lemon Oiled and cleaned, there's a fresh set of DAddarrio 10-46s fitted. Oh and it has a set of Dunlop strap locks fitted.
I REALLY didn't want to sell this, but my desire for the other guitar is greater... so the price is VERY keen. I'm not taking anything less than £400 for it and it *is* worth every penny. This is a very good guitar...

I drove that little guitar all the way up to the Oxford Services. Great guitar and so glad it spent time with someone who would gig it >:D<
Super price.

My trading feedback - I'm a good egg
Fret wear - minor divots in cowboy chord areas, nothing of great note. No choking or dead spots.
