2005 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom BLACK BEAUTY + OHSC
This auction is for a very cool 2005 Gibson Les Paul Custom in the beautiful black finish with gold hardware. This guitar comes to you in an original vintage Gibson case . Serial number is 751198 2. It weighs in at 9 pounds, 14.7 ounces. This guitar was purchased for display only and never really played. It was in the man cave of a mansion and I recently bought all of the Fender Gibson, Martin, Collings, Taylor and other guitars that wre hanging on display for 20 years. After we replaced the strings, oiled the fretboard, did a setup and checked this one out, it came right back to as new condition. Since this was basically unplayed, there is no fret wear and no realy wear of any type. It is a great time capsule guitar. Since it was purchase in 2005 I assume it is a 2005. The serial number should help you if you are concerned about the exact year.
