USED Gibson Les Paul Classic 1960 Heritage Cherry Sunburst 2001

Summary: 
Here we have a pure rock beast of a guitar; classic, flashy and just what you need for heavy riffing and all-round rockery. This guitar is finished in the classic Heritage Cherry Sunburst. It has had one owner from new, and spent the last 16 years in its case.

Model: Les Paul Classic
Model no: Classic 1960
Year built: 2001
Weight: 9lbs 1oz  /  4.12kg (approx)
Hard case or Gig Bag? - Yes, original tan case, seeming to be in good condition. 
Neck profile: Slim taper 60's neck profile

Body Condition: 8/10
Generally, from a few feet away it looks near perfect on the front. On close inspection you will find some normal signs of wear and tear, but mostly minor. Some minor scratches, polishing swirls, nothing major or structural. Not much signs of buckle rash on the back of the body, a light few surface scratches but that's all.

Neck: 8/10 
The frets are in good condition with only very very minor signs of light wear and tear. No noticeable dents, dimples or flat spots. There are some very minor signs of age related wear on the rosewood but general wear and tear is much below what you'd expect. No breaks to the headstock, the guitar has been very well looked after by one careful owner. A couple of small blemishes at the top of the headstock, yet again nothing structural. The guitar has had a bit of lacquer blown on the face of the headstock, extremely common with this era of Gibson, purely cosmetic though.

Hardware: 8/10
The machineheads are the original and in good working order, some light signs of tarnish. 
The stop tail and saddles are also in very good condition with minimal signs of ageing and very tarnished commensurate with age. 

Electrics: 9/10 
Sockets, pots and switches etc are wear and tear items. The electrics on this guitar have been tested and are in excellent working order, but my standard disclaimer is it's a used guitar and one must expect SOME occasional electrical 'scratching' noise, crackling and popping when adjusting pots and switches. In our opinion the electrics on this guitar exhibit less than average 'noise' in normal play but there's no guarantee how long they will stay in this condition. 

Playability:
This guitar has been lovingly set up by Jon, one of the UK's most highly regarded and experienced guitar techs. 
That doesn't mean this guitar is the best playing guitar ever, it just means that he has taken the time to set it up. Adjust the action, intonation etc so that it plays as well as can be expected and stays in tune as good as any guitar of this type does. 
We all have differing styles and demands from our instruments. Some of us like fast n low actions for fretboard burning licks, others prefer a high n mightly action for show stopping windmills and downtuned heavy riffing and everything in between. No one set up suits all!
This specific guitar has been set up sympathetically for it's style so has a fairly low action, and minimal fret buzzing.

Priced with all of the above in mind but feel free to "make an offer".
