Description

*This is a used guitar in excellent condition
*This is a consignment item
*Includes original Lifton-style hard shell case, Gibson COA, Historic Makeovers COA and hang tags

*Observations: This stunning Historic reissue Les Paul was completely reworked with Historic Makeovers' Deluxe Package treatment, which includes a more period-correct neck carve, a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, and a complete refinish with unplasticized nitro-cellulose lacquer and a classy, understated aging and relic job. The pickups have been replaced with a fantastic-sounding set of Killer Vintage A5 Better Bucker PAF-style humbuckers and the guitar has been refretted by legendary Austin luthier Ed Reynolds, so playability is exceptional. Aside from Historic Makeovers' finish aging, the condition is excellent, making this an incredible-looking and sounding guitar dripping with authentic vintage vibe. The original Lifton-style hard shell case, Gibson COA, Historic Makeovers COA, hang tags and the original pickups are included.

About the Historic Makeovers Deluxe Package:

The most complete Makeover for Gibson guitars. On guitars made before 2013, the neck is steamed out and reset with hot hide glue. On all guitars, the top is re-carved to vintage spec, the neck is reshaped to vintage “C” shape, and hot hide glue is used to install a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with correct binding ledge and inlay routs. The fingerboard is inlayed with exclusive 1950’s style cellulose nitrate inlays. The guitar is completely refinished with aniline dyes and unplasticized nitro-cellulose lacquer in a vintage correct finish. The package includes a vintage patina (weather-checking and aging optional) and the serial number is stamped in a 50’s-correct typeface.
