***PRICE REDUCED TO $4150*** 2011 Gibson Custom Shop Historic '57 Les Paul Custom VOS Black Beauty in the less common 3 pickup configuration with stop tail and Kluson tuners... 8lbs. 15oz!... Hard to find that weight in one of these, took me a long time!... Burstbucker 1 and 1 and 2 in the three spots.... Has original case and all case candy including COA...
My recent re-purchase of my '57 goldtop conversion means that three guitars had to go and this is sadly one of them.... a great playing and sounding guitar, I will miss it!
I bought this for $4600 just a few months ago, fell in love with it and spent many hours doing extra aging by wearing off a lot of the gold like you would see in originals... I personally hate the look of these stock when the parts are all gold and they do the VOS smudgy thing... all that has been changed, every part removed from the guitar including screws and worn and aged further to show some gold remaining and a lot of the nickel underneath... there are also some extra dings and scratches from being lovingly played..... Great feeling neck, 1st Fret Depth: .93, 12th Fret Depth: 1.01
The last photo below shows the 'before' shot when the parts had no wear and were all gold...
This is the more expensive, all mahogany and accurate '57 reissue not the CS version... Need to move quickly... $4150 INCLUDES SHIPPING to the continental USA
