The top is a beautiful flame maple with the grain showing through in certain lights. This guitar weighs a comfortable 8.5 lbs with no weight relief. It comes complete with a Gibson custom shop case and all the usual case candy. There is minimum wear and has been very well looked after. This is a lot of guitar for the price. Cambridgeshire area. Cash on collection only. £2,950

Update: Looking for a quick sale. Price Drop to £2,800.

I fail to understand why anybody would LOL troll a tasty guitar advertised at a fair price.

I want to know how he got it to float on the settee in the 3rd picture down..?

lovely guitar and a free bump for the dickheads who lol'd it.

Onpar

Ha ha no idea why it looks like it is floating. I can assure everyone that it is firmly on the sofa

There are a lot of keyboard warriors about. For the phantom loI'rs I recently sold my 2007 R9 for.. shock horror.... £2950.
Best of luck with your sale, it looks like a great guitar.

But what's 'LOL Troll'?

I was looking at it as if the guitar was on the back of the sofa and not the part you sit on...!!.. I think a lol troll is someone who lol's someone's sale thread in a sarcastic manner as if they are asking too much for a guitar....this is a great guitar at a very good price..!

That top is tasty, have a wow from me.

A keyboard warrior or troll who 'lols' a thread that doesn't deserve it. It is a very nice looking guitar at a decent price and light in weight - I've wis'd that for starters! I'm not sure about the veracity of "comes from a time when Gibson had access to some great materials" but I've got an R9 from 2005 so maybe that just made mine even better than I thought it was! 

Onpar

I can see it now. it does look as though it is floating!
Thanks for the positive comments. I would love to keep it if I could.

Have you seen some of the fretboards on recent Gibson Custom Shop guitars?

Shame re timing, as I will be looking for an R9 or R8 in the second half of new year but finances are currently tied up and won't be available til June.
