FS Gibson Les Paul Std !!SOLD!!

Something Gibson shaped has caught my eye and I need to gather funds to satisfy my cravings. So up for the chop is my standard

Gibson Les Paul Standard 2006
Honeyburst
Upgraded 50's Shugz wiring loom
Uncovered Bareknuckle Mule pickups
Neck is quite slim, definately not a baseball bat I'd say 60's. I did email Gibson a while ago for the full spec sheet but I can't find the reply, I'll keep looking in the meantime.
It's chambered and so is very comfortable to have around your neck for a full gig without breaking your back, around 7.5 _ 8lbs.

Original Gibson Hardase cream fluffy goodness.
It's in great shape with barely any wear at all, bought new buy me from Andertons and hasn't seen that much action tbh as it was too shiny to take gigging at the sort of places we frequent.

I have taken the shine off the back of the neck slightly (and very carefully) to give a nice satin feel, easily restored with a bit of polish which I can do for you if you like.

I'm not entirely sure what the going rate is at the moment, I've checked ebay sold prices and they are fetching £1600 average, if I'm wrong tell me. I don't really want to deal with ebay and I don't want this hanging around forever so let's say



Happy to answer any questions or take more pics if you like.

    That's probably the cheapest Standard in the country. At £1400 that won't stay around long. Are you sure you shouldn't be asking more for it?

    2006 is a "good wood year", I had a 2005 gold top and it was awesome. Seen them for £2k these days. I sold my gold top cheaply 2 years ago for £1300. Try £1800

  • Hi, nice looking guitar. Would be interested to know how you took the shine off the neck?

    OK thanks a lot! 
    I'll start at £1700, updated accordingly. I would like this moved on sooner rather than later.

    Thanks. I did it with a super fine bit of paper, maybe 3000?

    Good luck with the sale. Been a long time since a Shugz loom mentioned!

    Guitar looks great - best of luck on getting it sold.

    Cheers

    The 'good wood year' is a load of crap I am afraid.

    That doesnt detract from whats an excellent guitar

    That's why it was in quotes! There were some shenigans with weight relief after 2005. That one has a lovely top though, will sell easily.

    Yes you should. £1400 is too cheap. I'd have bought that off you if I was unscrupulous but I'm not. Sell it for what it's worth. Your'e encouraging bedroom flippers at that price.
