Up for sale a 2008 Gibson USA Robot Les Paul Studio Limited Edition Modified Electric Guitar w/ Case - #005880442!  This instrument is a Used Model in Very Good Plus Cosmetic Condition and in Perfect Working Condition.  On this one, the headstock was broken and has been reglued (see good result on 13th and 14th pictures), there are screw holes on the body due to the missing pickguard (see details and 15th and 16th pictures) and there is a notch on a knob (see 17th picture).  Otherwise, there are barely few notches and several small dings, fine scratches and marks here and there (see 15th to 30th pictures).  Unit comes with its Gibson USA Gig Bag. MODIFICATIONS / DETAILS : The original pickups were changed for a DiMarzio Evolution Bridge Humbucker and a DiMarzio PAF Pro Neck Humbucker, the tuners were changed for Grover Rotomatic Tuners so the guitar do not fulfills its "Robot" function anymore, the knobs were change for White and Silver Top Hat Knobs.  Also, the pickguard was uninstalled and is now missing, leaving to screw holes on the body (see 15th and 16th pictures) and the locking latch mechanism of the case is no longer functional although it still closes. 2008 GIBSON ROBOT LES PAUL STUDIO LIMITED EDITION The Robot Guitar invasion continues! Gibson’s launch of the Limited Edition Robot Guitar redefined the power and possibility of a guitar to capture the imagination of players all around the world. Gibson is now proud to answer the demands of thousands who wanted another chance at owning the ground-breaking technology with the introduction of the Robot Les Paul Studio, which combines with power and performance of Gibson’s iconic Les Paul model with the revolutionary Robot Tuning System. This model is no longer "Robot". The Les Paul Studio has been a popular choice of hard-working guitarists everywhere ever since its introduction in 1983. Now, Gibson USA brings increased sonic versatility and performance upgrades to a new Les Paul Studio. The Les Paul Studio blends timeless tonewoods and components with improved comfort, powerful humbucking pickups and the classic looks that define it as a genuine Gibson Les Paul. All this, and the Les Paul Studio looks stunning in Metallic Purple high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. DIMARZIO EVOLUTION® BRIDGE HUMBUCKER (DP159) The Evolution® Neck and Bridge humbuckers are the result of two years of research to come up with the right sound for a very demanding player: Steve Vai and his Ibanez® Jems. Both pickups are designed for maximum impact and power. The neck pickup is fat, punchy and loud. The bridge pickup is tight, aggressive and louder. Both pickups have our patented dual-resonance configuration to reproduce more harmonic overtones than conventional humbuckers. Evolution® pickups are not polite-sounding, and they’re not for the inexperienced, but – if you’ve got the chops and a hot amp – your sound will burn. The Evolution® pickups were originally designed with live gigs in mind, but they have so much presence and definition that they’re great recording pickups, too; they slice right through even the densest mix. DIMARZIO PAF PRO® NECK HUMBUCKER (DP151) The PAF Pro® was created when chops-intensive playing was first starting to happen, and high-gain amps and rack systems were becoming popular. A pickup was needed that combined a lot of presence and “cut” with an open-sounding PAF® vibe. The transparency of its sound lets the PAF Pro® slice through heavy processing, where darker-sounding pickups get lost in the mud of the effects chain. Low notes have both snap and chunk, and there is a spike in the mid-range that gives the pickup a subtle “aw” vowel sound, like a wah-wah pedal stopped in the middle. Treble response is tweaked to produce highs that stand out without getting brittle. The PAF Pro® makes an outstanding neck pickup in almost any guitar, and it’s an exceptional bridge pickup when high output isn’t required.
