This is a very very regretful forced sale due to marriage woes.   Up for grabs is an extremely lovely and near mint condition Les Paul that has never, ever left my home studio.  It is my first and likely to be my last Les Paul and I loved it (perhaps too much according to my soon to be ex wife) ?   It sings and growls and sustains as a Les Paul should plus it is coil tapped, so in addition you get some very nice single coil sounds / single and humbucker combos - not to mention the 15db turbo volume boost that will remove at least one pedal from your board   This a truly beautiful sounding and looking instrumentOne dreadful day a wall hanging fell and bounced across my studio floor and chipped a piece out of the back of one corner of this guitar (see picture).   After days of sobbing I glued the piece back into place but I didn't do a great job.   I am sure that anyone with an ounce of skill in this area will fix this and the LP will be as good as newApart from this blotch the guitar is in as new and totally unmarked condition. It has an upgraded bridge - but the original one will be supplied as wellI bought a set of Gotoh locking tuners (chrome) for the guitar but haven't fitted them and will throw them in with the guitar - you can decide whether or not to put them onComes with a pristine retro brown, hot pink plush fur lined Gibson caseI will pack it very well and send it to you for exactly what it costs me to send - no more, no less - you will get a copy of the receipt.  I will trust you to make an additional payment to cover postage if your location ends up costing more than the fixed price & similarly, I will refund you the difference if it is cheaper or charge you nothing if you pick it up from me up here in Julatten, QueenslandThis link takes you to some very good photos of the exact same guitar as the one I am selling - lemon burst is an exquisite colour without being too 'colourful' if you get my drift - the full texture of the wood shines through the lemon bursthttps://reverb.com/au/item/3299122-gibson-lp120-anniversary-classic-60-s-rare-lemonburst-finish-anniversary-specs?gclid=COPoyrmi6dICFQwIvAodyYUO3Q&pla=1"The 2014 Les Paul Classic has the charm of the 62 year old legend with features designed for the 21st century. 

The 2014 Les Paul Classic is crafted from the same ingredients that made this instrument an instant classic, solid mahogany topped with maple, with updates for the enhanced tone, comfort and even looks. 
The mahogany back employs the Gibson traditional weight relief rout to provide you with incredible resonance and a slight reduction in the weight of the notoriously heavy solid Les Pauls while the carved figured maple top caters to the traditional and elegant aesthetics of those first “Bursts”. The glued-in mahogany neck is carved into the slim '60s profile and features a bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 undercut, cryogenic-treated frets made to withstand corrosion for a much longer fret life. 
The fingerboard also carries traditional trapezoid inlays with a commemorative 120th anniversary inlay at the 12th fret.The 2014 Les Paul Classic sports a set of upgraded zebra-coil Gibson '57 humbuckers; a '57 Classic in the neck complemented by a scorching hot Super '57 in the bridge for that Gibson-fueled vintage tone with endless sonic possibilities imparted by the cutting-edge electronics. Both pickups are routed through a 3-way pickup selector, a master tone control (equipped with an Orange Drop tone cap) and independent push-pull volume controls with coil-splitting capabilities – all of which contribute to the Les Paul Classic's expansive tonal range. For a little extra “umph” at the flip of a switch, the 2014 Les Paul Classic also comes fully loaded with an onboard mini-toggle for an instant 15dB boost.The 2014 Les Paul Classic features chrome hardware including vintage TonePros tuning machines for impeccable tuning stability with a traditional pairing of a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for the ultimate sustain and resonance. The vintage-cream binding, pickguard, and pickup rings caters to the vintage '50s look of this Les Paul Classic.Gibson 120th Anniversary additions to the 2014 Les Paul Classic include an enlarged, no-slip strap button to properly secure this prized instrument through even the longest most hard-rocking performances, Max Grip Speed gold Knobs for on the fly adjustments, a GraphTech nut, long-life proprietary coated guitar strings and a full PLEK setup. For superior protection, the 2014 Les Paul Classic includes a durable, vintage-brown hardshell case with a pink, plush-lined interior
