This is a used Gibson The Paul II guitar. The item pictured is the one you will receive. It has been tested and gone over by the experts at our shop. When a guitar is purchased from us it undergoes a final setup check before shipping to ensure it's playing optimally. It is then packed with care and shipped to your door! (But please be aware that it may need slight tweaks upon arrival due to weather differences, jostling during shipping, etc.). Please read the description carefully and check over all photos for condition and wear. We do our best to describe all items as best as possible and note any wear we find, but please be considerate that it is a used piece and it won’t be perfect (Unless noted as "Mint Condition" or "10/10" for condition). If you have any questions about this or any other piece of gear we have, please let us know and we'll be happy to help!

Condition Notes:

- Condition: 6.5/10

- Fret wear: You can sort of see some extremely light flat spots starting to form in the first position of the B and G strings upon close inspection, but hardly worth noting! They're slightly flat on top but still have plenty of height on them.

- Any wear of note: This guitar is in great shape overall and is fully functional and structurally sound. It shows some pretty obvious players wear throughout it. There are dings, scratches and finish wear. There's also some finish checking, mainly on the headstock, sides and back. But only the checking on the headstock really shows up in photographs. There's one section on the top edge of the bottom left bout where you can see some light finish repair, but it blends in really well and just shows like normal light finish wear now. But again, it's still in great shape overall and functions 100% as it should! All of the wear is purely cosmetic. No headstock repairs or anything.

- General notes: This is a really sick guitar from Gibson! A nice and light, stripped down Les Paul with a slimmer all mahogany body, weighing only 7lb 6oz. It has a killer ring to it as well. Really vibrant and lively. The neck is a really sweet carve. It feels more like a SlimTaper 60's in the first position and eventually turns into more of a Rounded 50's kind of feel starting around the 8th fret or so. It's makes for a stellar playing guitar that's easy to get around on. The pickups are a nice and hot pair of Gibson humbuckers with plenty of beef and bite to cut through a mix. Especially with the mahogany body and neck. And the rosewood board provides some sweetness tonally and smoothness to the feel. It's a really outstanding guitar with a vintage vibe, and perfect for the player who likes a thinner body! You'll love having it in your arsenal of gear!

- Accessories included: Gibson gig bag only (Not original).
