Selling my 2008 Les Paul 'Traditional'. Reason for sale, I'm no longer in a band, it's wasted just sitting in the back of a cupboard so am raising funds to explore other avenues. This guitar has a few mods, the capacitors had been changed before I bought it, along with a bone nut and Slash Alnico II pups.
Now the important bit...
This guitar has been gigged... A LOT! It's worked hard over the years I've had it from festival stages to sweaty folk clubs and it does show if you zoom in for a close up look. I've tried to show in the photos but the camera can only show so much. It's no showroom display piece and has never been a music room dweller, I didn't buy it to be one. There is dullness to the finish around the top side of the bridge and where my arm and wrist have rested over the body, circled in one of the pics. There are one or two dings (but only small) here and there on the top. On the back is a good amount of 'buckle rash'. It's not worn through the finish but the wood is marked. If you're after a mint Gibbo this ain't it. I'm not trying to put anyone off, I'm just being honest. The case is sound and still has the 'factory smell' inside. Please only buy if you can collect in person, I will not send this via any courier, even if you arrange it. I can't offer 'try before you buy' either as I no longer have my amp but guitar was working fine the last time it was plugged in. Priced to reflect a sought after year and the modifications it has. Thanks for checking it out, do feel free to ask any questions and I'll try my best to answer.
