Very rare 2012 Paul Landers model Les Paul in excellent condition. Rarely played and kept in case. Photos are of the actual guitar. Being the lead guitarist for Rammstein, his models rarely become available in the US. Only 300 were made, and most of those are in Europe. I like to collect interesting guitars, and this is one of the most interesting and beautiful Les Pauls I have ever owned. Think sleek, minimalist, contemporary and hot pickups. The finish is Satin Black with grey binding. Only one control knob - volume. All hardware, including pickups, are chrome. Clean fretboard, with dots only visible from the top. Pickups are EMG, so versatile from blues to metal. Even the Les Paul silkscreen on the headstock is silver instead of the common gold. All in all stunning. Per guitar reviewer Steve Williams: "And I just can’t emphasize enough how good it looks, and I would even go as far as saying it’s the nicest looking Les Paul ever made! " From Gibson: Hot, active EMG pickups for the Rammstein axe-slinger. Designed to meet the sonic specifications of the rhythm guitarist for the band Rammstein, the Paul Landers Signature Les Paul Electric Guitar uses the classic wood pairing of mahogany body with maple top to provide a balanced resonance to fuel the potent mix of German rock, hard rock, and heavy metal that is characteristic of the Neue Deutsche Harte ("new German hardness") of Rammstein. The '50s rounded mahogany neck profile and ebony fretboard with 12" radius provide the stability and smoothness for solid riffing. Grover tuners ensure rock-solid tuning. This signature Les Paul is equipped with the versatile EMG 81/60 active humbucker pickup combination that Paul favors in all of his guitars. EMG-81 bridge humbucker Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain. In the bridge position, this pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. EMG-60 neck humbucker The 60 packs plenty of output with a balance of tones that is classic-thick; boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with ceramic magnets, this model has rich tonal characteristics that gives full treble response for distinct single-note solos and buttery harmonic overtones to provide some serious meat to your playing. Traditionally used in the rhythm position for everything from clean bluesy tones to hard rocking crunchiness. FEATURES Mahogany body Maple top Set mahogany neck '50s rounded neck profile Ebony fingerboard 22 frets EMG-81 bridge humbucker EMG-60 neck humbucker 3-way pickup selector 1 Volume (EMG 25k pot) Locking Grover tuners Chrome hardware
