Gibson Dark Fire Les Paul — First Run 2008 — Modified — Original Case

Up for sale is a 2008 Gibson Dark Fire Les Paul, from the highly sought-after first production run of the Dark Fire series.

This guitar has been professionally modified, with the original electronics in the control cavity replaced with vintage-spec wiring and capacitors, as shown clearly in the photos. The original tuners have also been replaced with locking Ratio-branded tuners, providing improved tuning stability and ease of use.

The guitar is in very good overall condition for its age, with normal signs of use. Please note that there is a finish crack running through the center of the body, which is clearly visible in the provided photos. This appears to be a finish issue rather than a structural break, but please review the photos carefully before purchasing.
