BadgerDave Posted August 13 Posted August 13 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) 20 Quote
topekatj Posted August 14 Posted August 14 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. 4 Quote
hamerican gigolo Posted August 16 Posted August 16 Something about a Black body, cream binding & gold hardware that just typifies elegance. GLWTS 2 Quote
topekatj Posted August 27 Posted August 27 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 1 Quote
BadgerDave Posted August 29 Author Posted August 29 The finish is hard to photograph. It's definitely VOS with a light patina of swirl marks and small dents that are visible if you hold it in direct light. It looks nearly new from a few feet away. 1 1 Quote
murkat Posted September 1 Posted September 1 That's a great deal. One piece mahogany body (no maple cap). Chugness galore. 3 1 Quote

I've never removed the pickups on this one. I assume they are factory original but I'll check and respond. Edited 23 hours ago by BadgerDave Quote
gtone Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago With all that case candy, you'd think they'd list the build specs/features, no? More self-serving corporate promo than user-friendly material, I guess... Maybe it'd be less bother to contact Gibson and see what they used. Yeah I know they make a gazillion guitars a yr, but you never know. Quote
Dave Scepter Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Man, this guitar is badass!.. I wish it was around when I had money 😒💰 Quote
bubs_42 Posted 11 minutes ago Posted 11 minutes ago Man, what a guitar. A custom Sub 9lbs, no maple cap, makes me weak in the knees . Quote
