*SOLD* 1995 Gibson Les Paul Special DC - Lollar/Thorn P90s


Recommended Posts

EDIT 6 SEP 1758CST - SOLD

 

Up for sale is 1995 Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut.

This instrument is not to be confused with the Faded Series or the early 2000s run of Special with mini-trap inlays - this is an actual reissue of the famed Les Paul Special double cut.

The "Gibson" logo is an inlay (as a real Les Paul should be) and the finish is gloss cherry red. This is a true reissue and although it's not a Custom Shop or VOS, it plays every bit as good as the vintage DC Specials I've experienced. It's truly an outstanding guitar.

The neck measures .817" at the first fret and .914" at the 12th.

The bridge pickup is a Lollar P90 that's wound slightly hotter for great blues and rock tone at any volume. The neck is a Thorn Staple P90, knows for it's clarity and "beefy clean" that's so difficult to capture. This instrument will run the gamut from clean to hairy to all-out rock tone with the turn of a volume knob. The original Gibson P90s are long gone and not included in the sale.

Gibson OHSC is in excellent condition and functions properly.

It's a solid 8/10 cosmetically, with surface blemishes in the clear coat on the headstock and few small finish bumps on the body. There are three bumps that break the finish and are captured in the photos.

The pics tell the story and the flash makes the blemishes look much worse. The good guitars get played and this one is 22 years old - if you're expecting a museum piece, this isn't your guitar. This isn't a gig workhorse that's been there and back, but it's been played.

This is a good one, folks.

$950 shipped CONUS for my HFC brethren.
