I am selling one of several of my Gibson Les Paul Smartwood Exotics. It is a 6 String Solid Body Right-Handed Electric Guitar. I am selling it with its original hard shell case.From my research, Gibson made the Smartwood Exotics from 1998-2002. They either contained the words “Smart Wood” on the truss rod cover, or had a green leaf there. They were similar to The Paul, except: (1) They were made of wood certified by the Rainforest Alliance; (2) They had a Curupay fingerboard, dot markers, and “Smart Wood” or a green leaf on the truss rod cover; (3) They had gold plated hardware; (4) They had a top cap of either Ambay Guasu, Banara, Curupay, Peroba, Taperyva Guasu, or Cancharana wood (beautiful rare tropical woods harvested from a sustainable forest in Paraguay); and, (5) They had a natural finish. This Smartwood Exotic was made in 2002. As you can see, mine has the green leaf truss rod cover and the Smartwood Series stamp on the back. I believe this one to be the Taperyva Guasu because the color is reminiscent of a sun-bleached rosewood. Every bit about this guitar is original and I would say this guitar is in near mint condition (in the interest of full disclosure, there is a small indentation on the upper left of the back of the guitar - I can provide pictures if you would like).By the way, I must mention that the sound of the Smartwoods are incredible. They have a very interesting tone to them. Plus, it’s a Gibson. Need I say more? And if you are into saving the world, well, this guitar was made from woods from well-managed forests, certified in accordance with the rules and regulations set forth by the Forest Stewardship Council and a portion of the sales were donated to benefit the Rainforest Alliance. This guitar was housed in a smoke free home in the basement with a Humidex system.I only accept PayPal. I do not accept returns.I have based the cost to ship the item on what it cost to ship another guitar recently. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
