2003 Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue R9 10 yrs Authentic Road Wear
I am the second owner of this guitar. I bought it from a friend in late 2014 and have played it very little since then.
My friend got it new and toured with it until he sold it to me when he was liquidating some gear.
If you want a guitar that looks experienced, know that this guitar has actual experience!
All of the wear is real, this has not been reliced by anyone other than the angsty guitar player that did all of the rockstar things with it. It's been in vans and busses and planes and cargo trucks and whatever. The original case was covered in stickers and completely wrecked and I unfortunately sold it immediately to buy a functional case for it. It looked cool though.
My friend's band was and still is pretty popular so this one has been at all the fests, clubs and theaters you can imagine. I'm not saying that he's a huge rockstar (he’s not) and you should buy the guitar because of him, I'm saying that this guitar is a rockstar all by itself.
We all know that only a relatively small number of these guitars ever see a stage, fewer go on tour and go through the things that leave actual marks. The fact that this 23 year old guitar has 10 years of honest wear on it makes it pretty f-ing rare.
This guitar was stock until I swapped the stock Burstbucker 1 & 2 for a pair of Custom Buckers in 2015. Original pickups included. I'm willing to reinstall them and keep the Custombuckers for slightly less $.
I recently had the frets dressed and recrowned, set up with 10s
The headstock has been repaired by Gibson and the break is nearly invisible.
Weighs 8 lbs 13 oz
SN# 931xxx seems to indicate mid-late 2003
The guitar will ship in a brand new Gator ATA approved case
I love this guitar but it is the LP that gets played the least. It's a good one and I've played a bunch of them, I own a bunch of them now. I'm just not really a burst guy, I like BB Customs, and this guitar is too cool to sit around waiting for me to only play it once a year if even.
Thanks
