This is basically a brand new 2016 Gibson Les Paul Traditional. I bought this baby in May and played it a total of 2 hours. Unfortunately, I have so many other things going on right now that its hard to find time to play all my guitars. This guitar was built on January 28th of this year, I'll include all paperwork that I have to show the documentation. I tried my best to get a picture of the flame on the body, it really is flawless. There is no belt buckle rash on the back to worry about either. I had the guitar professionally set up in June and honestly have not played it since. I also had my guitar tech swap out the hot 57 pickups that originally came with the guitar and put in a pair of Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro's. These are the pickups that Slash himself plays on, but they are NOT the Slash signature Alnicos. These are not as hot as those but believe you me, turn up the gain and these pickups are no joke. I will also include the original Hot 57 pickups that came with the guitar of course. Those are pictured in the Seymour Duncan casing. Also you will be receiving the sought after Gibson USA case that everyone is always talking about. This guitar is solid as rock, a true gem, and like I stated earlier basically brand new. Do not pass it up. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. Thanks so much for looking!
