Ocean Water Candy Perimeter finish with Abalone inlays on the fretboard, knobs and Gibson logo - uniquely beautiful appearance and stunning finish! Very early run, this one was made on November 11th 2014 and was purchased new from a major dealer in Germany on Nov. 5th 2015. No doubt, this is the nicest Les Paul I have ever seen.

I bought this guitar as a collectors piece. Hate to part with it due to its scarcity and beauty, but I am simply not a gibson guy :) I have mostly owned and played Fenders. However, I wanted this particular model for its incredible looks and rarity. Now it can be yours.

AAA hand selected and book matched top signed on the control cover by Gibson's master luthier. The body and hardware shines like a diamond. Abalone trapezoid fretboard and knobs inlays as well as abalone Gibson logo on the peghead are visually stunning! Asymmetrical compound radius neck is awesome and easy to play. G-Force tuning system is a great innovation.

Les Paul Standard Premium Quilt Ocean Water Perimeter upgrades the classic features of the world's most desirable electric guitar with a luxurious Grade-AAA quilted maple top and other elegant appointments, supremely versatile electronics, and a sublimely ergonomic playing feel to present the most advanced and gorgeous Standard Gibson USA has ever offered.

Someone is in the right place at the right time. Grab this beauty before someone beats you to it! If you crave classic humbucking tone, modern playability, and eye-grabbing visuals, you need to own this one. Reasonable offers will be considered so don't hesitate.

Condition:

Body and hardware shines like a diamond. Everything works perfectly. When this guitar came in to me boxed, I noticed only a couple of hair-like thin shallow clear coat scratches on the back body which were already there when I bought it. They are small and thin and will not show on most pics but only in a bright neon light and at an angle (see last pic with a neon light). Hard to capture with a camera. Very early run (this one made November 11th 2014). This early run does not feature removable pickgurd which Gibson added later in 2015.
