Rare Find. Distinct Features:

  1. Exclusive Double Cutaway (DC) Design: Standing apart from its single-cut brethren, the DC offers unparalleled access to higher frets, catering to those who dare to venture beyond.
  2. Limited Edition: The XPL DC was only in production for one year in 1985, making it one of the rarest Les Pauls you can find.
  3. Preserved Originality: From tuners to the bridge, all hardware remains true to its 1985 origin. An emblem of authenticity for purists. Original frets with very slight wear as indicated with original biding nibs.
  4. Vivid Finish and Condition: While it carries the graceful patina of age, its rich color and gloss encapsulate its enduring charm, there is sought after checking near the switches and knobs.
  5. Classic Gibson Sound: Beyond its looks, its tonal quality is pure Gibson - thick, luscious, and resonant.

Additional Notes:

  • Given its limited production run, this XPL is a true collector's item. It's a conversation piece, a treasure from a bygone era.
  • It's well-preserved for its vintage, displaying character without compromising its integrity.
  • Electronics are fully functional, to include the PAF humbuckers, allowing it to sing as beautifully today as it did decades ago.

Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The 1985 Gibson Les Paul DC XPL-400 is not just a guitar; it's a story, a rarity, a testament to a fleeting moment in Gibson's illustrious history. It beckons a discerning collector or musician who recognizes and values its unparalleled significance.
