Description
 


Amazing sounding and playing guitar! Action plays great, neck is straight and frets are barely worn. It is an interesting Plus Top Desert Burst finish - I've never seen another Traditional quite like it. It's not your normal overdone flame which is what attracted me to the guitar in the first place. I tried a bunch of different PAF type pickups in this guitar looking for the old Jimmy Page and ACDC tone through my Marshall Plexi and these pickups were the absolute best that I found for that classic 70's tone. They are the Brandonwound JP (Jimmy Page) set. It is an uncovered T-top replica in the bridge and PAF in the neck. The middle position is scary how much it sounds like the Page clean tone live when you turn the volumes down. It was also set up with 50's wiring style with all 500k Gibson pots like Page would have had in his #1 back then. I noticed that the bridge pickup cleans up much nicer with this wiring instead of getting too dark and wooly sounding. The truss rod cover had a crack in it and I replaced it with blank Gibson one that I think sounds better.This guitar has not been abused and has been played occasionally by me in my home - never gigged. The original owner I bought it from about 1-2 years ago barely ever played it and it was in almost new Condition. Since I've owned it, there are a couple of small blemished in the finish that are hard to catch in a photograph. The only real noticeable one is a small one on the back of the guitar.I really do not want to sell this, but need the money as I am moving into a new home for my family.I will only ship to the continental US. No international shipping.
