2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded Historic Vintage’59 Conversion R9 Mod. Note, if more photos are needed they are available, please message me. This is a player’s guitar. There are dimples on the back but not through the finish. There is one ding (scrape) on the headstock, on the back edge near the low E tuner as shown in a photo. As seen in the photos, the mahogany is a beautiful, brown stain (no red tint). It’s a guitar and has been lightly played and kept in my non-smoking, climate-controlled studio. Never a break or repair. The neck is perfect and I’d put the frets at 99%, very little wear on the frets and should polish out. The relic job on the tuners does have some slight rust spots for authenticity. Included items as shown; Original case, uninstalled pickguard, manual, truss rod tool, old pots, tuners and more. Sale only for US buyers. The’59 Conversion Kit. This Gorgeous Les Paul Standard Faded is fantastic straight out of the case… But with the Vintage 59 R9 modifications and upgrades it becomes an instant’players’ guitar.
