This listing is for a very cool Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Class 5 Model electric guitar with a beautiful flametop and the highly sought after Burgundy / Cranberry finish. In the pictures, the camera flash makes the color and finish look lighter than it actually is. In normal light the Cranberry color looks darker. As you can see, it looks a lot like one of the Cranberry Slash SnakePit models but without the Smokin Snake graphics. So you could add the graphics and have a real nice Snake Pit copy. The factory original Gibson Art And Historic Custom Shop hard shell case is also included. The case is wore and has one broken hasp on the back but all of the other latches work, so it will stay shut and protect the guitar. There’s also a lock in the side of the case so you can secure your guitar while it’s being stored or transported and the key is included. The tuners have been upgraded to Grovers and the Buzz Feiten Tuning System was added. You can Google Buzz Feiten to read all about it. We’ll also include a Certificate Of Authenticity. The COA that we have is blank, so you’ll have the option to fill in the model and serial numbers on it. And that’s not to mention the Custom Shop case as well as the COA. Gibson only made these Les Paul guitars for a few years. Class 5 refers to the AAAAA maple top, which is (supposedly) a step up from a 1959 Les Paul Standard ReIssue with a AAAA top. The tops are usually highly figured or quilted and they look incredible. Spec-wise, the guitar is weight-relieved and not chambered so it still sounds great. With the factory relief holes in the body, it weighs in at just 8.6 pounds which is at least two to three pounds less, than most of the Les Pauls. That includes the Killer K tops or even the hand picked M2M custom ordered Yamano models or the Tom Murphy Aged Custom Shop Les Pauls. This guitar was made in 2001 and like any 18 year old used vintage instrument, it’s not perfect. There are some very small minor dings in the top and on the edges but nothing major. Otherwise, the guitar looks great and it’s still in excellent condition. We rarely get in Class 5 Les Pauls, like this one. W hoever buys this beautiful guitar, will be very pleased.
