I bought it in 1995 and I’ve had it ever since. I haven’t played it much for the last ten years, sadly. I’d like it to go to a home where it will be loved and appreciated. The fretboard is in great condition. There is some wear on the neck. The tuning pegs and pickups are gold-plated. This thing is made of solid mahogany. They don’t make them like this anymore. It’s a sexy guitar and I kept it in great condition. This guitar comes with the original case. One of the buckles on the case is busted. You can see it in the photo. As for how it plays, how it feels: It’s a US-made Gibson Les Paul Custom made out of rainforest wood. If you play guitar, you know that it doesn’t get better than that. Some people have requested the serial number. Another person asked if the neck and fretboard are original. The fretboard is mahogany with inlaid mother of pearl. Another person asked if there was “belt buckle rash” on the back of the guitar. I don’t know what that is. I have attached a higher-quality picture of the back of the guitar for your reference.
