Gibson Limited Edition Les Paul Standard, Manhattan Midnight Blue with Hard Case

Iconic, Elegant and Rare

Finished in alluring Manhattan Midnight and produced as a limited edition of just 275 guitars worldwide, this 2005 Gibson Les Paul is an opportunity to own something genuinely special. Combining all the timeless appeal of a classic with a colour seldom seen on the market, it delivers the unmistakable Gibson blend of sustain, warmth and authority that has defined countless songs.

This example has clearly been enjoyed and played over the years, remaining in great playing condition. The frets show only early signs of wear, while the hardware and pickup covers display light tarnishing that adds a touch of vintage character. There are two small dings to the rear of the neck around the 6th and 7th fret area, a minor blemish on the heel, and a few tiny marks on the back edge near the jack socket and strap button. Some finish wear is present on the bass-side waist on the rear, alongside general surface swirls, handling marks and gentle age-related blemishes consistent with a well cared for twenty year old instrument.

A collector’s piece that still begs to be played, this Manhattan Midnight Les Paul offers exclusivity alongside classic Gibson character and tone.
