Gibson Les Paul Standard Custom Shop 1954 / 54 Reissue R4, made in 2009 => see also my other auctions: R9 Flamtop (Burstbuckers) from 2006 & R6 Goldtop (P90s) from 2006I am selling an original 2009 Gibson Les Paul Custom 1954 Reissue in very good condition. Only "played” occasionally on my sofa at home, never taken out my flat. It was part of a small collection but this guitar is "too good" for me.This guitar was purchased at Berlin based Luther Lutz Heidlindemann a.k.a. "Guitardoc" (check on the internet).Back then when the "Guitardoc" was still a Gibson retailer, he had access to the central Gibson warehouse in Marburg where all the shipments from Gibson USA would arrive before they where dispatched to guitar stores in Germany.This means, he could personally select & test the guitars he wanted to sell in his shop before ordering them at Gibson Germany. And this guitar is one of them. The result is just accordingly, this is one amazing sounding guitar.Custom Shop stuff in general is already very, very good. But if someone who builds and repairs guitars and personally owns vintage gear is handpicking guitars for retailing, then the selection of guitars offered becomes really a "best of".You can feel free to personally call him and ask him about it, simply because this very guitar is right now at his shop for sale again. You find it on his website. Of course a purchase on ebay would be "winning" over a potential simultaneous sale at his shop.There is a minor spot/impression on the back side of the neck, but it is only in the varnish, see close-up. For the sake of being complete, here are the appointments. All original except for the ABR-1 bridge that was exchanged for an ABM bridge (Berlin based company), to allow for better string separation, resonance and "punch". Appointments: P90 bridge PU, Alnico 5 neck PU, Bumble Bees, ABM Bridge, long neck tenon etc. etc. ... you know what a 1954 Reissue is like.Mahogany body with carved mahogany top, mahogany neck, and a very nice ebony fingerboard.Comes with original Custom Shop case. Remaining Case Candy and COA are also included, see pictures. The pickguard was removed because I love the great and authentic flame top flame top, it is of course included. It weighs in at tbd kg = tbd lbs tbd oz = tbd lbs ... Perfect and "historically correct "Paula" weight. For the R4 reissues Gibson paid well attention to get resonant and leight weight mahogany. This guitar has the perfect weight which is not too light and not too heavy. The reward is just a great tone: resonant, full, woody, piano like, yet very detailed and transparent. The neck has a great feeling and is closer to an original '59 profile, no "baseball bat". So, this guitar here is in excellent/mint condition and is fairly below a retailer's new price.This guitar is a collectible item as much as a player, so by any means a keeper if you intend to do either or both of these things !! Call me for questions: +49(0)176-3264-6620 Ask more questions or for more pictures if you like. Ebay fees are at my charge. => Ask all questions prior to bidding ! General shipping note The choice between DHL, UPS, FedEx etc. will be which service provider is willing to cover the full insurance amount. The insurance depends on the postal regulations of each country, regardless if its Europe or somewhere else in the world. Even in Europe there are huge differences. So, if DHL has the lower shipping fees but does not insure high enough (because the receiving country’s post does not do it) then we will have to chose UPS and it might cost a bit more. The winner of the auction has to fully cover these costs. Concerning payment I accept a direct transfer from your to my bank account (bank wire). Please email me for questions concerning payment. The money has to arrive on my bank account at the latest 4 business days after the end of the auction. Online/telephone banking is common today, so this should not be a problem. International transactions are also very fast these days, so I may accept 6 days for payments from outside Germany if direct bank-to-bank transfer is chosen. If money is sent to my account from outside Germany, transaction fees may occur at the bank the money is sent from and also at my bank which is receiving the money. E.g. if money is sent from the USA for sure there will be transaction fees. If sent from within the European Union, it depends on the individual bank if fees are charged. Anyway, all fees that may occur (at your bank as well as my bank) have to be paid upfront by the person who is sending the money. If you choose to buy a guitar in a foreign country then please accept that extra transaction costs are fully at your charge. Important notice Article is sold “as is” in a private auction. No exchange/money refund possible after transaction is finished. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. I will check the feedback ratings of every bidder. If bidders with zero or a lot of medium/negative feedback participate please contact me prior to bidding. If I judge the bidder rating as being to negative I feel free to cancel the bids and exclude him/her from the auction. Hinweis zu Bestellungen und Gewährleistung nach EU-Recht
