I am offering a Gibson Les Paul Classic Seafoam Green from 2014, the made in Nashville (TN), USA, luxury version of the Gibson Les Paul in the 120th Anniversary Edition with weight-reduced mahogany body (including 9-hole weight relief), arched flamed maple top, set-in mahogany neck with '60s SlimTaper neck profile and 43mm TekToid nut, bound rosewood fingerboard with classic trapezoidal acrylic inlays and 120th banner, two warm-sounding Gibson '57 Classic Zebra humbucker pickups, sophisticated electronics with push/pull coil splits and active 15db boost, high-quality Gibson ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with aluminum stopbar and Kluson Deluxe Vintage Tulip button tuners in a brilliant Seafoam Green Nitrocellulose high-gloss finish in excellent condition, including brown Gibson luxury hardshell case, manufacturer's papers and professional setup with 10-gauge Ernie Ball strings.
A mahogany body with an arched maple top and a set-in mahogany neck with bound rosewood fingerboard including fat trapezoid inlays — this guitar builds on the classic features that have made the Gibson Paula probably the most popular guitar of the last 60 years and combines them with select hardware and outstanding US manufacturing quality.
To meet the demands of a modern guitarist, this anniversary version of the Les Paul Classic, celebrating Gibson's 120th birthday, comes with some extra-special technical details: A hand-milled, slim '60s SlimTaper neck profile is extremely comfortable to hold and allows even nimble fingers to play shred passages across the 22 cryogenically-treated frets. The body comes with a gentle 9-hole weight relief treatment, which makes the guitar easy to handle with a total weight of just under 4.1kg, while also offering great natural resonance. A Gibson ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, together with Kluson Deluxe Vintage Tulip button tuners, ensures clean intonation and reliable tuning stability.
The sound of the instrument is typical Paula: fat, powerful, beautifully sustained. You'll feel a tingle in your stomach as soon as the first note hits the amp, and the Gibson '57 Classic Zebra humbuckers deliver everything from pearly clean sounds to punchy rock riffs and sustain-laden solo passages. Thanks to individual push-pull coil split functions in the two volume controls, you can also coax stripped-down single-coil sounds out of the guitar, and the mini switch offers an active 15db boost for fat solo passages at the touch of a button.
A sound sample of the model can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

This Gibson Les Paul Classic is in excellent condition and technically flawless. Visually, there is only occasional fine minor wear (see pictures). The frets are immaculate.
The instrument has been professionally set up with 10-gauge Ernie Ball strings and I (a long-time guitar teacher) will ship it fully insured with DHL for €29.99 within Germany or €79.99 within the EU. Worldwide shipping available—individual shipping costs upon request.
