This guitar is a 1997 High End Gibson Les Paul DC Pro ЕЕfrom Gibson's Custom Art Historic division: The home not only of famous, faithful reissues but also of new High End models that bend the rules of Gibson tradition in exchange for a higher level of performance like this baby!. It's a direction that players appreciate, as evidenced by the success of the ES-336 over the past year. The lastest creation from Custom, Art, Historic, melds features from two classic Gibson's of the '50s into one new, true players' ax of today Ц This is the Les Paul DC Pro. The DC Pro brings the Les Paul Standard's time-tested combination of highly flamed AAAA Carved Maple Top and Mahogany Body together with the total neck access of the double-cutaway Les Paul Jr. Limiting controls to one volume/one tone/one three-way switch keeps the DC Pro efficient to use on stage. The tapered headstock design allows for straight string pull, ensuring that strings stay in tune in any gig situation. To further cater to the demands of discriminating players, this DC Pro is available with Amazing PAF vintage style humbuckers . Perhaps most importantly, the DC Pro's compound radius fingerboard provides a no-compromise solution to those who demand comport and playability all the way up the neck. Players will find a perfect "fit" for their left hand. "The ongoing evolution of the Gibson Les Paul guitar has reached a new benchmark with the introduction of the Les Paul DC Pro," said Tom Spaulding, Product Sales Coordinator for Gibson's Custom, Art, Historic Division. "With roots that reach back to the world famous Les Paul and Les Paul Junior, the DC Pro is loaded with modern features aimed at today's players. Gibson's original list price on this CS Model was $3995.00 . This cross-pollination of old and new features breathes new life into the fabled Les Paul family tree."

The guitar I bought without pickups. I've been looking for the most interesting set of pickups. So the pickups keep it. Sell the guitar without pickups!
You put those that you like and the guitar sounds great and will resolve it thanks to the amazing tree.
The headstock is in order. I photographed cracks on the surface of the varnish - that you were calm and confident in the integrity of the wood of the fretboard.
Carrying case included.
