RARE: Only 200 were made!Very lightly played, only a handful of tiny nicks/marks, otherwise it's in excellent condition.Weight: 8.5 lbs
Serial Number: 103310679A mean-looking, hot-sounding contemporary Les Paul, the Chad Kroeger "Blackwater" Les Paul comes disguised as a traditional single-cutaway Standard with all the appointments that have made this guitar legendary for more than 50 years, but hides some simple yet clever surprises that expand its sonic capabilities exponentially. In addition to its traditional magnetic humbucking pickups, a GraphTech™ Ghost® piezo bridge and related electronics provide an authentic acoustic guitar sound that can be used entirely on its own, patched parallel to the magnetic pickups through two amps, or blended with the traditional tone. Roll from atmospheric ballad to rock anthem at the twist of a knob, or craft your own new tones that blend elements of both. With its killer hand-stained Trans Black AAA-flame maple top and unique trim package – featuring a truss-rod cover engraved with "Blackwater" in silver – the Chad Kroeger "Blackwater" Les Paul looks as unique as it sounds, too. Plus, it features Kroeger’s own idea of adding white star decals along the upper back fretboard, aligned with the standard fret markers, which allow you to see where your hand is positioned when playing on a darkened stage.
Pickups and Electronics
The Chad Kroeger "Blackwater" Les Paul carries a powerful complement of pickups, including Gibson's 490R and 498T from the popular Modern Classics series, and a GraphTech Ghost system in the form of a piezo-pickup bridge for authentic acoustic tones. All three pickups are routed through individual volume controls, with a master tone control, a three-way switch for the humbuckers, and a stereo jack to split signals as desired. The neck pickup's volume control is located in the traditional bridge pickup's volume control position; while the bridge pickup's volume control is in the
position usually taken by the neck pickup's volume control. The piezo pickup's volume control is located at the traditional neck tone control
position and the master tone control for both humbucker pickups is located at the traditional bridge tone control position Features AAA figured maple topChambered, weight-relief mahogany bodyNitrocellulose finishMahogany neck'50s-style rounded neck profile22 fret rosewood fingerboard with 12" radiusCorian nutGibson PLEK systemSingle-ply cream body and neck binding490R neck humbucker with Alnico II magnet498T bridge humbuckerwith hot Alnico V magnetGraphTech Ghost System with piezo bridge saddlesGhost stereo 1/4" outputThree 300k linear volume controlsOne 500k non-linear Master Tone control3-way Switchcraft pickup toggle with black plastic tipBlack speed knobsTune-O-Matic bridge/stopbar tailpieceGrover 14:1 kidney tunersChrome hardwareAluminum strap buttonsMother-of-pearl Gibson headstock logoBlackwater stamped onto truss rod cover
