2012 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Iguana Burst with Maple FingerboardThis is one unique and super clean guitar.  This is from a collection and considered as new as you will find. The frets are highly polished and the maple fingerboard looks new, as you can see from the pictures.  The finish is smooth and polished.  This is a guitar you will catch yourself staring at.  As far as I know, there were only 50 made and I have not seen another one.  This guitar is beyond nice.  Product SummaryToday’s Les Paul Custom is based on the model from the mid-1950s, but with several modern appointments. The body is crafted with a hand-carved maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany with strategically routed holes to lessen the weight of the guitar, resulting in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is also made from one solid piece of mahogany then topped by a 22-fret Maple fingerboard outfitted with pearl block inlays and given Gibson’s traditional rounded profile. The pickups are Gibson’s 490R in the neck position, which offers the tonal characteristics of the original PAFs, and the 498T in the bridge position, which swaps the 490R’s Alnico II magnet for an Alnico V, thus making it slightly hotter with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs. Other appointments include Gibson’s legendary Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, metal tulip tuners, multi-ply white and black binding on both the top and back, gold hardware and a 1 11/16” nut width.  Handpicked from the Gibson Custom Shop. A Striking Iguana Burst Finish and Maple Fingerboard really make this guitar unique.
