About this listing
The 2016–2018 “reissue” Gibson Les Paul Voodoo is one of those strange modern Gibson runs that quietly became collectible because almost nobody expected it to. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a historic reissue in the Custom Shop sense — it was more of a revival of the early-2000s Voodoo concept, brought back by Gibson as a limited USA production model.The original Voodoo series from the early 2000s was Gibson doing something deliberately darker and more alternative than a Standard or Custom with: unusual woods; satin finishes; blacked-out hardware; occult / tribal styling and lighter weight. The 2016 version kept the spirit but updated the recipe. Unlike a normal Les Paul, it dropped the classic mahogany/maple formula and went with: Swamp ash body (lighter and snappier); Maple neck; Richlite fingerboard; Black chrome hardware; Rounded Les Paul neck profile; Satin nitro finish and Voodoo humbuckers (Alnico II)The JuJu finish is a really cool feature. The original early-2000s Voodoo used an Ebony finish rubbed with red grain filler. The 2016 return flipped the visual treatment into what Gibson called a reverse JuJu finish — dark body with red grain highlighting that gives it that scorched / volcanic look under light – one of those finishes that looks better in person that can be reproduced on pictures.A relatively light Les Paul, genuinely different from the rest of Gibson’s catalogue both in looks and sound, this 2018 model is in great condition with only a little play wear on the body next to the high e (see last picture). The guitar comes complete with its very cool black/red snakeskin style Gibson hard case, original Gibson strap and its baby picture.Shipping within mainland UK using fully insured 24-hour courier service @ £40.00.Shipping to EU is £70.00Customers outside of UK/EU should contact Vintage Rare & Retro Guitars for a shipping quotation.
