You are viewing an absolute killer 2005 1958 Historic Custom Shop VOS Les Paul with some nice upgrades. This one weighs in at 9.1 lbs. The original case with some outside wear and COA are included. The upgrades include: WCR/Jim Wagner BetSet pickups with aged covers (original pickups missing in action), 550K pots with PIO caps, Bone nut professionally installed, and Creamtone aged bridge and tailpiece assembly. This has the beautiful Ice Tea Burst finish with a really nice Madagascar rosewood fret board. Action and set up is nice with action at 5/64 and 4/64 at the 12th fret. This was a gigging guitar for years, so it is a natural relic that now feels as good as your most comfortable pair of jeans. The nitro lacquer has worn away on the backside of the neck behind the first few frets. The rest of the backside of the neck is super slick as well. The binding has a nice rolled in feel now down the neck. There is some fret wear, but no attention is needed. It still plays great with nice smooth action anywhere on the neck. You can also see where some on the lacquer has worn along to the top edge of the top from years of playing. This is a no nonsense, no excuses straight up killer axe that will out play anything off the rack new. The serial number was partially covered in the photos to combat fraud on here.
