This is a Gibson Les Paul Standard plus 2013 with a killer Honeyburst flame top that has been completely converted to 1959 historic specs. First off the bridge has been properly changed to historic abr-1 no wire with the stud holes filled in with maple dowl then nitrocellulose lacquer drop filled with very minimal visibility that it has been done then the screw in bridge post where installed and has solid tone this upgrade alone was a big improvement in sustain. Second the tuners have been converted to bushing post kluson deluxe single line single ring historic correct flat top tuners and these babies are smooth. The tailpiece is historic nickle aluminum the pickup rings are historic tall rings this guitar also has the historic 1959 truss rod cover. Now about the guitar it has a nice dark rosewood board and the frets are in good shape this guitar also has the highly coveted long neck tenon for great tone. This guitar has Seymour Duncan sh-18 Jimmy Page pickups with CTS 500k pots and CTS 500k push pull pots for split coil operation and orange drop caps for your enjoyment. Guitar comes with the original like new case and all case candy . Guitar weighs about 9lbs and has smooth 60's neck. this guitar has a few small dings and some buckle rash on the back but it gives it mojo. If I left anything out or you have questions just ask. Shipping to the 48 states of the mainland USA only and it's on me. Thanks Also if there is any other modifications you want done to this guitar let me know. I have all different Gibson knobs and pick guards (this guitar has no pickguard holes but I can put one on or include it) I can do different pickups,wireing or whatever you want I am a professional luthier and specialize in Gibson I have done dozens of these R9 conversions for many well known artist with great results. Why spend $5000 on a guitar your to afraid to play or take out of the case because it might get hurt these guitars are players guitars and priced like a regular Standard you would not believe how many guitarist are a out there on stage with a guitar like this and everyone just assumes it's a real R9. Thanks
