Les Paul custom guitar made by luthier C. Eric Schulte

This is a Les Paul Custom that was custom made for me, by the legendary Pennsylvania luthier, C. Eric Schulte. It is in very close to "like new" condition, since I used it more for recording, and not so much on gigs. This guitar is so beautiful, it deserves to be displayed like a work of art. But, man does it play well and sound great. Schulte was famous for his Les Pauls, and this was his 100th, completed at the turn of the millenium. On the headstock, is a special chrome plaque, with an engraved commemoration that reads: "Eric Schulte's 100th Les Paul Handcrafted for Tony Juliano (yours truly) December, 2000". Plus, there is an Abalone inlay at the top of the headstock, giving this guitar its special name: "Deluxe 100" Eric had been saving this piece of quilted maple for years. He planned to use it for a guitar he had intended to make for himself. But, then he realized he was never going to get around to it, so he used it for my guitar. Eric thought it was the prettiest piece he had ever seen. The serial number "000223", plus the words "Schulte Custom" appear on the reverse top of the headstock. Black TKL hardshell Les Paul case, with plush lining, is included (also like new).
