About this listing
Note: See short video in gallery showing how I pack a guitar. I set myself apart with my SETUPS and PACKING. I include setup sheet with each guitar.This is a 2013 Gibson Les Paul 50s Tribute that was refinished in a really cool gold sparkle finish and upgraded with vintage components. Weight = 9lbs, 1oz (likely non-weight relief model).$600 in Upgrades:-- Lindy Fralin p90s, w/ Sprague Bumblebee caps-- Gibson ABR-1 non-wire historic bridge-- Grover kidney bean tuners-- Metal armrest guard-- Chrome jack plateConditionCosmetically the guitar looks great. Previous owner did a nice job with the gold sparkle refin (note: unlike most Tributes, this does have a gloss coat). In addition, looks like the back and rest of guitar got a coat of nitro. Old school "chalice" headstock inlay was added. Frets are in excellent condition. Metal armrest has some wear.Features— Mahogany body with maple cap— Mahogany neck, rosewood board, rounded 50s neck profile— P90 pickups & Tune-o-matic bridgeSound & PlayabilityI didn't do the parts swap. The ABR-1 might be vintage, but the caps are definitely true vintage. They are paper-in-oil (PIO) and likely .022uf @600V @ 10%. Wired with caps soldered to the left volume pot pin, this 50s Vintage wiring retains clarity and bite as you back off volume. All electronics work perfectly. This LP Tribute has the more chunky rounded 50s neck profile and it plays great all over the neck. The Fralin pickups sound awesome! It's definitely like no other Goldtop Tribute you'll find. I have already contacted Gibson to confirm this guitar started life as a 2013 LP Tribute and was originally wine red. NO case. Cherry on top is my detailed setup and bulletproof packing. Thanks!Recent Review:"Guitar was packed perfectly for shipping. Everything arrived exactly as described. A lot of care and attention was put into the setup (intonation is perfect). Seller was nice enough to include some extras. Excellent seller! Thank you so much!"InternationalPlease note, on Reverb, I ship to USA and Canada only. On eBay I ship worldwide with eBay International, which has the best pricing. cheersGuitar SetupSetup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!PackingSearch "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it.
