Stunning 2004 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R9 (LPR-9) for sale. In excellent to mint condition. No chips, dings or scratches. Beautiful top on this one! The only modification is a professionally installed bone nut. Comes with original lifton style brown case and case candy! You may see a little smudging on the pickup covers - I have since removed it. I also removed the pickguard for a picture to showcase the top. It will be included in the sale and can be on or off per buyer's request. All of the photos are of the same guitar. This one looks different in different light. Sometimes it almost looks like a tobacco burst! It is in fact washed cherry sunburst, confirmed by Gibson. This one is light! 8lbs 15 oz.Check out my other listings! I have this guitar listed locally and on Reverb - so listing may be removed upon a sale elsewhere. Don't miss out!Gibson’s Les Paul Standard model from 1959 is the most highly acclaimed, widely recognized solid body electric guitar in the entire world, coveted by both players and collectors as the ultimate example of playability, attractiveness and tone among all six-stringed instruments. In an industry filled with imitations and replicas, the iconic 1959 Les Paul Standard simply has no equal. Named after Lester William Polsfuss, aka Les Paul – legendary American jazz guitarist, and true pioneer in the development of recorded music – the Les Paul model guitar became the “Standard” in July 1958 after company president Ted McCarty and his staff decided to add the new designation and forego the guitar’s traditional Goldtop finish for a new, brighter finish dubbed Cherry Sunburst, which allowed the natural beauty of the Les Paul Standard’s maple top to be showcased. The company was hoping the changes would improve its sales of solid body electric guitars, which had been declining since 1953 when the Gibson shipped 2,245 Les Paul Model guitars.Body: Solid non-weight relieved mahogany body with carved maple topBinding: Single-ply cream binding on top Bridge: ABR-1 bridge with lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece Controls: 2 volume, 2 tone, and 3-way selector switchPickups: BurstBucker 1 (R) and 2 (T) pickupsNeck Material: 1-piece mahoganyNeck Joint: Long neck tenon Fingerboard: RosewoodFrets: 22Inlay: Acrylic trapezoid inlays (accurate shape and color)Machine Heads: Vintage tulip tuners Nut Width: 1-11/16"Scale: 24-3/4"Case Included: Hardshell Custom Shop casePlease look at my feedback and buy with confidence!
