2001 Gibson USA "Black Beauty" Les Paul Custom (Ebony)

2001 Gibson USA "Black Beauty" Les Paul Custom (Ebony)A two pickup Black Beauty model Les Paul Custom from a VERY good era of Gibson manufacturing. Made in 2001 (serial 02811578), it's a nice hefty mahogany build with a slim 60's mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with big block inlays, weighs 4kg's. Includes the original hard case. Of course, it wouldn't be a Gibson if it didn't have a headstock repair! This one received a professional headstock repair and paint touch up around the area prior to a

fretboard oil and fret polish

Loaded with the Jackson HSS pickup configuration and a Charvel FLC branded licensed Floyd Rose locking tremolo system

Lightly used condition as pictured with some light cosmetic bumps and scuffs on the body and some wear to the frets

the MB-III was part of the Motion B series from Yamaha of short scale basses with compact bodies

the E-LP-125SD/P is the timeless Goldtop w/P90's Les Paul that i'm constantly being asked to find

Solid carved maple top with a mahogany back and neck (feels like a '59 profile) with a rosewood fingerboard

2kg's of acrylic Les Paul goodness

Transparent Red finish to show off the beautiful grain

truss works well and the neck is straight

Could use some new strings and a fret polish but it's overall in good playing condition as it sits

This one's a hardtail Stratocaster build with a string-through acrylic body

Knobs and tailpiece are reminiscent of the Ibanez Artist that were being made at the same time
