steviej Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I've got a 1979 Les Paul Custom in the famous Randy Rhoads, creamy white. However I have become very acustomed to the chunkier Hamer neck profiles, especially since I get wrist cramps now for some reason. As much as I love this guitar, and for as long as I have wanted and searched for this guitar, I never play it because of it's thinner neck. So, I'm thinking I should let it go, and pick up another one with a thicker neck profile that I might actually play. I would say it's in about an 8 out of 10 condition with the original case. The guitar looks beautiful, and plays incredible. It is all original except that it has been refretted with Jumbo frets. The guitar was also upgraded with a Graph-Tech nut when it was refretted. One speed knob was replaced with a matching one, and 2 new volume pots as the old ones didn't have any taper. There is some normal wear on the body and hardware, a small ding on the top edge of the headstock, and a small amount of minor "worming" on the back (nothing very deep or through the finish). There was also a small separation in the top where Gibson drove the tailpiece stud right in the midlde of on of the seams of the 3 piece top at the factory. However, it has been professionally sealed and is smooth to the touch. As bad as it looks up close, it's only cosmetic. The case is in good condition also. However someone "accented" the Gibson logo on the front with white paint . I have had this guitar for sale several times before, but I just couldn't bring myself to part with it. However, I think it may be time. I am asking $2150.00 for the guitar which includes an additonal gold duncan 59' bridge pickup, gold schaller strap locks, and graph-tech saddles currently installed on the guitar. (original bridge pickup, strap buttons, and saddles included) I'm thinking I will use the money to S/O something fairly light with a big neck. However, I might consider a trade for a Fender Relic with a BIG neck and 9.5 radius or better. Thanks for looking.
