2023 Gibson Custom Shop '57 RI Les Paul Custom Black Beauty

[BadgerDave]

I've decided that it's finally time to downsize.  

Starting with my Les Paul Custom.  It's in excellent condition, all original, fully functional and unmolested.  Everything it shipped with from the factory is included.  I added Dunlop strap butttons and Faber locking bridge posts (original parts are included).

Weight: 8.5 lbs, which is unusually light for one of these if that's appealing to you.  Not weight relieved.

Nice thick '57 profile neck: 0.95" @ 1st fret, 1.06" at 12th.

The only funkiness is a few very small indentations in the clear coat behind the bridge. Possibly from a braclet or watch, but there are no scratches, just pinprick sized dents.  Difficult to get a clear photo, but I'll try if this is a concern.

Recently sold prices on Reverb range from $4,200 - over $5,000.

I'd like to avoid the fees and scam risk associated with Reverb, so I'm asking $3,700 plus $150 shipping.  Add 3% for PayPal (or $0 for F&F)

That thing is the bomb’s ass. That is a featherweight for a 1 piece Gibson hog body LPC.

 

IMO there are not enough 50’s style 2 humbucker customs in the world.

GLWTS.

Something about a Black body, cream binding & gold hardware that just typifies elegance.

Surprised this hasn’t sold. Hoping to have a $$ windfall 😂Just curious — this instrument's finish seems too nice to have VOS on it , but I don’t know VOS FROM VO5, so I thought I’d ask. Thanks
