1959 Gibson Les Paul Jr

goldtop

In superb condition. Stoptail upgraded to a compensated version (original included) and the knobs are repro (originals which were slipping on the pot shafts are also included). 

Lovely cherry red with very little fade. Comes with the original cardboard case plus a modern Gibson case for proper protection.

Price: £8995 (see new info, below)

Trades? (he asks while putting his fingers in his ears).

That's a stunner.

Trade-wise, I am REALLY trying to reduce the number of guitars and amps I have, so in general not really. But there's always a chance that something special tempts me.

Just to re-iterate after receiving some very nice offers: I am looking for a straight sale.

(I might be tempted, but I don't want to waste people's time.)

As some people have asked, it weighs 3.239kg.

Which works out to be 7 shillings and 2 furlongs if my sliderule skillz are still current.

Withdrawn temporarily.

It seems that this guitar may have a clear overspray - presumably to 'fix' the lacquer checking. I'll investigate and post back.

Er ... can someone lend me a roll of heavy-duty gaffa tape?

Yes - it's the reason for the price drop.

Will add more photos to the iCloud shared album later today, including the ding on the lower edge: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0cG6XBub1jbya
