About This Listing

For sale is a 1997 Gibson LPB-3 Les Paul Standard Bass in the classic Tobacco Sunburst finish, accompanied by its original hard-shell case. This bass guitar has been thoroughly enjoyed, but it remains in good condition and performs flawlessly. Some scratches, dings, and chipping to the finish on the bottom back of the bass are present. Overall, I would confidently rate its condition at a solid 7.5 out of 10.

The bass guitar retains all its original components, including the powerful Bartolini TCT-B 9v pre-amp, which contributes to its impressive tonal range. There are no cracks, repairs, or significant issues to report. The neck is perfectly straight, without any concerns, and the original frets display excellent condition, showing no discernible signs of wear. With a recent professional setup, there is no buzzing or dead spots, ensuring optimal playability.

The original hard-shell case, in very good condition, securely protects this fine instrument. Detailed images of the wear have been meticulously provided for your careful examination. Your interest in this remarkable 1997 Gibson LPB-3 Les Paul Standard Bass in Tobacco Sunburst is greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this piece of musical history.
