*dont be shy about making an offer* :-)



I am the second owner of this guitar. It was my first Les Paul, and it hurts to let it go, but the guitar collection needs thinned, and another LP has captured my attention, so this one will hopefully click with the next owner, and get more playing time.



Nicks here and there on edges and back, but the top is virtually flawless and free of marks. Lovely guitar!



2012 Mahogany Top Satin Vintage Burst. '57 Classic pickups, non-weight releived body (iirc) and clocks in just over 9lbs. 50s profile neck I think. It feels very "broken in" though, not too stiff or baseball-bat-like. I don't have large hands and usually LP 50s necks feel really stiff, this one has been played, and feels broken in.



Original owner installed Schaller style strap buttons. I don't have the originals. But everything else is stock on this guitar aside from the nut. I had a local luthier perform a setup and he installed a brand new bone nut. The original was just showing age, and grooves a bit too deep, so we gave it a new one. He was really impressed with how great this guitar sounded and felt in the hands. Broken in, and fun to play.



This thing stays in tune like crazy. I beat the crap out of it with open chords, no problem. Downpick with a 1.5mm+ pick like I'm trying to take the bottom string off? Again, no problem.

Setup with low action and Ernie Ball 10s, plenty of adjustment room on the stopbar if you want to adjust it for slack or bury it for tension.



Hard to find a specific spec sheet, but ask any questions, and I'll do my best to find the info.



This one's a rare find! They only made the "satin" burst finishes for 2012 according to my research. AND a lefty? Crazy good, so have at it folks. This guitar wants to be played. But my "bucket list" Pelham Blue LP has been located and is in my studio, so this player's instrument should go to someone who's going to play the crap out of it.



Thanks for looking!
