Sold: Gibson Les Paul Special DC £1000
What's Hot
Laydeez and Djentlemen
Up for grabs is this gorgeous B&G Stepsister model, in open pore, satin finished mahogany.
Built from high quality tone-woods including African Mahogany for body and neck and Mexican Royal Ebony (Katalox) for the fingerboard. Solid brass hardware and a high-gloss finish help maintain the look, resonance, and tonal qualities of the original Little Sister, with a great bit of spank from the B&G designed P90s.
The body shape is slightly shorter than the better known Little Sister model, joining the neck at the 16th fret, and the fingerboard extends to 22 frets. The neck heel has also been slightly reshaped for easier access to the highest registers. Because the fingerboard is longer, the neck pickup is placed slightly close to the bridge for a brighter and more defined tone than on the Little Sister, and a truly beautiful and “hollow” tonal quality when used in conjunction with the bridge pickup.
Lovely, playable slim soft 'v' neck. The guitar is also incredibly light, at 5lbs 11oz.
In great nick - a couple of tiny, unphotographable dings on the back, each no more than about 2 mm. Comes in a B&G fitted hard case, which was an add on to the 'normal' gig bag (which has disappeared in the mists of rock n roll time).
Selling due to, well, GAS. You know the score
£750
now £700 collected from sunny Barnet, N London / happy to drive out an hour or so to hand over. As I have the hard case and a box, happy to discuss postage options.
Not
really up for trades, but no harm in asking. Might consider some sub-species of Tele...

Comments
I have a glorious Vox that apart from being a centre blocked, hollow, set necked, three pickup, 335 sized, Gibson scaled guitar with a Bigsby B70 is exactly like a Tele in every way
That being said, it is violated by the installation of a Bigsby, which is against all known laws of reason and good taste.
For those not drawn to such butchery, this semi-hollow grab-bag of fun is still up for, er, grabs.
Someone needs to grab this, fantastic price compared to all the others online.
have removed 2 of the springs to make the trem functional, but again will ship those removed with the instrument.
No hard case with this one, but happy to ship, wrapped to withstand an air drop.
Laydeez and Djentlemen: feast your peepers on this sexy little number.
1999 Les Paul Special DC.
Unbound slim 60s style neck, with these groovy ?crown ?quadrilateral inlays.
After market decent set of Grover tuners and some quality strap locks. And, as is my wont, equipped by my chums at Custom Cool Etch with this (to me, stunning) oak leaf/acorn design scratch plate. Plenty of elvish/Green Man of legend shit going down.
Original black scratch plate will come with the instrument (one pic shows the same).
Anyroadup, plays like a dream (but for the limitations of the player) - light, resonant, the p90s are v dynamic and responsive.
Bit hard to price - only other one I can find is about £1500, in Japan. I say £1200, now only £1,050 here, in the cost of living crisis.
Selling as I'm over-leveraged in the GAS economy, and may - actually - be homing in on the 'one(s)'.
The thing is, I have no case, and unsure what kind to buy, so while I can shove it in a gig bag, this will have to be pick up/meet up. 90 min each way radius from Barnet should get me to Watford Gap/Winchester services etc.
