1985 Les Paul XPL - Double Cut, Expl Headstock - $850.

Dannyelectro · 11-18-2009, 12:32 PM

100% original unmolested condition. Solders, pots, Pups untouched. Miles of life left on frets, fretboard in excellent shape. Little honest playing wear evident, slight finish checking here-n-there, no faux "relic" finishing. Couple of dents & dings, but overall in shockingly fine condition for a 25yr old Gibson.

Quoting Gibson's description of the guitar from another ad: Double Cutaway XPL: does not say Les Paul anywhere, symmetrical double cutaway, carved top, 2 humbucking pickups, 4 knobs, selector switch above knobs, Gibson/Kahler Supertone vibrato or tune-o-matic bridge, bound top, 24 3/4" scale, bound ebony fingerboard, 22 frets, dot inlay, 6 on a side tuner configuration, peghead points to treble side, decal logo, chrome plated hardware, heritage cherry sunburst or heritage dark sunburst finish, Custom shop model,
Introduced: 1984
Ferrari red finish optional: 1985
Discontinued: 1987

Boy i hope someone buys this off you. I'd hate to see it parted out. My guitarist is looking for his first gibby, maybe i'll talk him into this one

. Any sound clips?

Completely torn here.. ashamed as I'll be to chop up a "survivor", I sure have better use for these Pups!

Sorry, no sound clips (at my age I'm lucky to be able access "the interwebs" at all), but I'm happy to drop this one off with a trusted forumer in the Nashville area (paging JOMO) to wring it out for a couple of days and tell ya about it.
