1995 Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut , Cherry Red, Lollar and Thorn P90s

Up for sale is 1995 Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut.

This instrument is not to be confused with the Faded Series or the early 2000s run of Special with mini-trap inlays - this is an actual reissue of the famed Les Paul Special double cut.

The "Gibson" logo is an inlay (as a real Les Paul should be) and the finish is gloss cherry red. This is a true reissue and although it's not a Custom Shop or VOS, it plays every bit as good as the vintage DC Specials I've experienced. It's truly an outstanding guitar.

The neck measures .817" at the first fret and .914" at the 12th.

The bridge pickup is a Lollar P90 that's wound slightly hotter for great blues and rock tone at any volume. The neck is a Thorn Staple P90, knows for it's clarity and "beefy clean" that's so difficult to capture. This instrument will run the gamut from clean to hairy to all-out rock tone with the turn of a volume knob. The original Gibson P90s are long gone and not included in the sale.

Gibson OHSC is in excellent condition and functions properly.

It's a solid 7.5/10 cosmetically, with surface blemishes in the clear coat on the headstock, small finish bumps on the body, and three dings that break the finish - they are captured in the photos. The "7.5" rating is conservative, as I'm very picky about condition.

The pics tell the story and the flash makes the blemishes look much worse than viewing in person. The good guitars get played and this one is 22 years old - if you're expecting a museum piece, this isn't your guitar. This isn't a beat up gig workhorse that's been there and back, but it's been played and it shows.

Please study the pics for a complete cosmetic picture - I do not offer returns, so do your homework before making a purchase commitment.

For me, this is where I like my guitars cosmetically - not pristine, but is good condition. I've found that I spend way more time playing rather than obsessing over the first bump/bruise.

Not much else to say here - this a great price point for a Gibson LP Special with these features & they don't show up that often. Get our P90s tones here without a $2K Custom Shop price.

This is not a fire sale, so crazy offers will be ignored. I prefer to stay in CONUS, but will ship to AK and HI (any additional fees over the $50 flat shipping rate will the responsbility of the buyer).

I've been buying and selling guitars for nearly two decades and always deal with others in the manner in which I'd want to treated. No funny business here and I expect the same on your end. Again, ask questions before you buy! I'm fairly new at Reverb, but I have 350 perfect transaction on Ebay - username is Bluesking89.
