2010 Gibson Les Paul – Rare, Modified, and Exceptionally Unique

This is a genuinely rare Gibson Les Paul with a story—and specifications—you won’t easily find again.

Originally intended as part of a limited run of 400 units, very few of these guitars have surfaced publicly. To date, fewer than five examples have appeared on Reverb, making this a standout opportunity among the thousands of Les Paul listings available.

Core Les Paul Specs

• 24.75” scale length
• Mahogany body and neck
• Maple top
• Classic Les Paul feel, resonance, and sustain

What Makes This One Special

This guitar was produced during Gibson’s experimental “robot tuning” era. However, it has since been professionally converted to a traditional setup:

• All robot electronics removed
• Upgraded with standard Gibson-style wiring
• Reliable, straightforward, and tone-focused

The result is the best of both worlds: a rare platform with classic Les Paul functionality.

Premium Visual & Build Features

• Custom-style block inlays
• Proper fretboard binding over fret ends
• Striking tri-burst finish
• Beautifully flamed maple top (comparable to 3A flame)
• Back and neck finished in a vintage-style burst reminiscent of 1970s Les Paul Customs, one piece mahogany body, and one piece neck.

Versatile Pickup Configuration

• P-90 (neck) + Humbucker (bridge)
  This combination delivers a wide tonal range—from articulate vintage bite to full, warm output.

Condition & Weight

• Approx. 7 lb 4.4 oz (very lightweight for a Les Paul)
• Excellent condition for its age
• One small ding on the back (shown in photos)

Included

• Original white Gibson case (shows normal aging)
• Original documentation
• Matching serial number
• Original pickguard

Value Perspective

You could commission a similar guitar from Gibson today—but expect to pay significantly more and wait months through the Custom Shop.

This is a rare, well-executed instrument that blends uniqueness with practical playability. Serious buyers know how difficult it is to find something like this.
