Up for sale is a killer rock machine from a celebrated era: a 2002 Gibson Les Paul Classic in a gorgeous Light Burst finish. Early 2000s Les Paul Classics are renowned for their slim neck profiles, vintage-style aesthetics, and aggressive, high-output pickup sets that cut through any band mix.

Featuring a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, this guitar is loaded with factory 496R (neck) and 500T (bridge) ceramic humbuckers. It delivers massive sustain, tight low-end, and screaming gain—perfect for hard rock, punk, and metal, while still rolling off cleanly for dynamic blues and crunch tones.

This guitar is in Player Grade condition. It has been played and enjoyed, showing honest cosmetic wear including surface scratches, finish swirling, and a few notable body dings as detailed in the photos. Structurally, it is 100% rock-solid—the neck is straight, the truss rod adjusts properly, the frets have plenty of life left, and there are zero cracks or structural repairs.
