No clue why I'm listing one of my favorites, but it's kind of what I do. This one started life as a 2013 58 Reissue in Tea Burst. It was my absolute favorite Les Paul and I wanted to personalize it so I sent it to Kim at Historic Makeovers. It was stripped down and re carved and the neck was shaved to match Joe B's Magellan.
Neck specs are as follows:
1st .881
5th .924
9th .963
12th .982
It was refinished in Dirty Lemon which was executed perfectly. It looks incredible and changes drastically with different lighting. I tried to take several pics in different lighting situations to show how the color varies. Each link below has several pictures included. The super thin nitro is starting to finish check in random places just like it's supposed to and it looks killer. I put in a set of my favorite Custom "S" buckers from a CME R9 and they are low wound and heavenly. This Lester is super lightweight and it a dream to play. No dings or damage anywhere and the frets are full of life. This is a lifer guitar for someone. Trade possibilities include Les Paul Customs close to 9lbs or less. (no richlite), Historic 335's with medium necks (no small please), other Gibson Historic LPs plus cash, Custom Shop Teles plus cash my way, newer PRS DGT, maybe a few more. I'm next level picky so I apologize in advance. $SOLD PPG. Trade value a couple hundred more. Cheers! Stevie 573-318-8457

Great looking guitar. My R9 is at Historic Makeovers right now. Not sure when it will be finished. I'm patiently waiting.

Awesome looking guitar.
Easily one of the best I've ever had. It was an absolutely killer guitar before I sent it to HM, it's only better now. I simply never keep guitars very long unless they have some sort of sentimental value. This won't be the first "perfect" guitar I've let go. Someone will be very very happy with it.
