About This Listing

This is a 1998 Custom Shop Historic 1956 Les Paul reissue. It is in great shape with a few minor scratches and dings that came from over 20 years of playing. I tried to capture the most serious of them in the pictures, but I am happy to take more if you want. Sounds great, plays great, it's just not getting used enough, so it's time to go.

It has a metal jack plate because the original plastic one cracked, and strap lock buttons.

It weighs 9.0 pounds. The neck measures .9 at the first fret, .92 at the third fret.
