Chad Kroeger, Gibson Les Paul "Blackwater" special editionDon't see to many of these pop up for sale; I picked this guitar up a while back and just haven't had the time to play it like I should. Plus there's another I have my eye on. This guitar does show signs of wear with nicks and scratches and I've tried to picture those all accordingly so you'll have no surprises when it shows up. It's not perfect but That being said it is still an INCREDIBLE instrument that anyone would be proud of. If anything it could use a new nut but that's just my opinion and take it as you may. It will be shipped in a case that isn't perfect its been carried around to different gigs and shows signs of it. But it'll keep the guitar safe on its journey to you. If you have any questions please ask, AND if you'd like more pictures I'd gladly send them along.Paypal only and US shipping only. NO returns. Item is listed locally as well so it could end at any time. FROM GIBSON::A 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
