Up for sale is my 2017 Gibson Les Paul Traditional T.  The guitar is listed as "New" because it is in as new condition, probably less play and handling time than some new guitars hanging in shops.  I bought this guitar in early November 2017, shortly after the launch of the 2017 range. I have not been a fan of recent LP Traditionals, but when I picked this one up the first thing I noticed is the lighter weight (~3.9KG OR 8.6lb).  Being non-weight relieved solid body this is indication of the timber quality. Acoustically nice and resonant, you know it's going to sound good plugged in, and the Burstbuckers don't disappoint. The new neck finish makes this neck feel far more comfortable and easy to play compared to previous versions. After playing a few '17 LPTs since, I feel this one is one of the best. Comes in its case with all case candy, see pics.  Serious buyers are welcome to contact me to try out.By now you probably ask "why are you selling this guitar" - The simple answer is I need some cash for another purchase.  So save yourself 100's off a new LP from a retailer (RRP is $4499, street price $3400-$3600), my loss is your gain.  Can provide the original receipt from ABH Pitt St. Sydney.  I have advertised this elsewhere so I could end this listing at any time if it sells.  I prefer local pickup, but can ship at buyer's expense.
Here's what Gibson say about the Les Paul TraditionalLes Paul Traditional 2017 T  A trip back in time to the Les Paul's golden era. A Les Paul inspired by the legendary late '50s Les Pauls, with all the benefits of modern-era Gibsons. From a distance—with its Traditional features and accurate Grade-AA maple top on a solid mahogany body—this Les Paul could be mistaken for a guitar kept under the bed since 1959. Once in your hand, Les Paul Traditional 2017 T unveils subtle but incredibly significant advances: rolled binding, polished frets, and a rounded neck profile make this guitar extremely comfortable to play. Wired ABR and aluminum stopbar with steel posts deliver incredible resonance and sustain while Burstbuckers 1 and Burstbuckers 2 humbuckers with Orange Drop tone caps crank out dynamic, expressive PAF-inspired tones. Put it all together, and it's a superb take on the best of Les Pauls past, made for today's demanding player. It is delivered in a classic Gibson brown hardshell case with a Gibson multi-tool, a premium leather strap and a polishing cloth.
