Early thin model – year 2000. Extremely playable and lightweight. Ambay Guasu wood according to the markings under the neck pickup.The official name was the les paul smart wood exotic. There was also a smart wood standard at the same time - gloss finish and trap inlays like a normal standard. The smart wood studio came out around 2002 - as thick as a normal studio and has the leaf on the front of the headstock. I “degolded” mine when I got it as I’m not a fan of gold hardware on guitars. I can put it back to stock if needed – if someone wanted this as a collectors guitar.Differences between stock and how it is now. Neck 490R pickup replaced by Gibson Classic 57. Bridge 498T pickup replaced by PRS Dragon II Treble pickup. Gibson Bridge and tailpiece replaced by Tonepros locking bridge and tailpiece. Gibson tulip tuners replaced by Grover Deluxe Tuners. Straplock buttons were gold when I got it and have been replaced by chrome. There are still some gold screws on the pickup surrounds, the truss rod cover and the rear control cover.*** UPDATE ***Now returned to stock although bridge is locking Gotoh - better than a cast stock bridge - see last three picsCondition is Excellent. There are a couple of very minor dents in the top – I’ll try to show these in the photos I upload but they might be difficult to photograph. There is aalso a small dent on the corner of the headstock - top left of s/n in pic 7. Comes in original Brown Gibson case with pink shroud.Any questions, please ask
