2017 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop Tribute
$175 worth of ALL BRAND NEW "Historic Model" Additions:
• Genuine Gibson Historic Pickup Rings
• Genuine Gibson Historic Truss Rod Cover
• Genuine Gibson Historic Jack Plate
• Genuine Gibson Gold Tophat Knobs
• Genuine Gibson Amber Switch Tip
• Genuine Gibson Vintage Style Aluminum Strap Buttons
• CreamTone '59 Tite Fit Pickguard
• MIJ Brown Backplates
• Stew Mac Poker Chip
• Genuine Kluson Single Line Tuners
• Genuine Kluson Press-In Conversion Bushings
Other Cool Stuff:
• Fully hand polished for that perfect VOS type sheen. Looks FAR better than any other "satin" Goldtop Tribute. Check the photos and compare to stock. Even the headstock looks near full gloss!
• Featherweight at only 7 pounds 10 ounces! Yes, a proper Les Paul well under 8 pounds!
• Copper Shielded Cavities & Backplates.
• Absolutely beautifully grained mahogany back (it truly looks like a one piece body and I can't find a definitive seam, but we'll call it a two piece since everyone believes that one piece backs on US production models is extremely rare)
• Nice & dark rosewood board with rolled edges
• Perfect Slim Taper Neck (.799 at 1st fret and .899 at 12th fret)
• Alnico 2 Pickups (490T and 490R)
• Super Lightweight Aluminum Tailpiece and Bridge (all nickel hardware)
• Brand new Brown & Pink Lifton Style Gator Hardshell Case ($120 value)
Other notables:
• Looks, sounds, and plays great. Has that $5000 Gibson Historic vibe at a small fraction of the cost.
• Will also include original Tribute TRC and Large Strap Buttons.
• Absolutely excellent other than one small/thin scratch on the back (hard to see without the right light and angle). It was purchased this way and I didn't notice until I brought the guitar home.
FREE BONUS: Genuine Leather Gibson Strap!
The deal:
These are $899 (with a gig bag). If you were to buy one from a major retailer at that price, chances are you won't find one that's under 8 pounds with a back this nice. Plus, it won't be gloss polished, or have over $250 in upgrades, including the hardshell case. As stated, all upgrades all brand new. Guitar is about two months old.
