Excellent condition 2005 ( I think from the serial number) white Les Paul Custom, ebony fingerboard, weighs about 10.5 pounds and sounds perfect.  I bought it from a local shop in Houston in 2009 and have gone through 25 others (including 4 other LPs) and this one sounds the best.  Played about 40 gigs at local bars and clubs and everyone would tell me the same thing when I picked up another guitar during the night (stick with the white Les Paul, it sounds better).  I probably shouldn't sell it but my gigging days are over and I just bought a new Flying V Pro with the Burstbucker 3 in it that I enjoy goofing around with at home now that I'm not concerned about tone at live shows. I think it has the 490 498 pickup combo, locking strap included, very clean except a small mark on side top (by your stomach when holding it) and a small nick on top  down by strap nut ( barely visible).  The gold hardware was all "brushed" or sanded  down so it has a brushed aluminum look (except as shown on the tuning hardware on the back of the headstock).  Looks much better to me than the gold.  Frets are very good, gold top hat knobs were replaced with black ones.  The 2 black marks are the screw holes for the pick guard which will be included with the guitar.  There is a little "yellowing" starting to show in the finish (mostly on the back and back of the neck) which gives it that classic look.No international shipping and thanks for looking.
