At 8.5 lbs, it has that perfect vintage balance: resonant, lively, and full of character. With CustomBuckers (underwound neck) and 50s wiring (paper‑in‑oil caps, no circuit board), it delivers warm, open unpotted PAF tone.

All the upgrade work was done by a top Coastal NC luthier, and it shows. This isn’t just a modded guitar—it’s a thoughtfully voiced, Custom Shop‑quality instrument.

You can buy a stock one for around $800, but for a little more you’re getting R9‑level electronics. It’s the best value you’ll find in a vintage‑inspired Les Paul.

Three‑day approval period: Play it. Record with it. Let it speak. If it’s not the right weight, feel, or tone for you, I’ll take it back—no questions asked.

I’m selling this guitar to help fund my work with youth overcoming family dysfunction and trauma. Your purchase directly supports that mission, and if needed, through our 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your purchase can be tax‑deductible (talk to us).

A great guitar. A great cause.
