This is an excellent playing Les Paul for sure. The newer Gibson's are just not the same. I got this guitar used and hate to part with it, but need the money for a financial bind. The guitar is a real player with not to serious cosmetic flaws. The most notable, would be the ding near the tuning peg and minor grazing at the headstock. There are minor scratches on the body from playing. The electronics are fully functional and the action is pretty low and is a pleasure to play. I will not lower the price since this is already a great deal. Feel free to ask for additional details.
