Here is a very cool and great-playing 1955 Gibson Les Paul Standard with a full refinish and extensive work completed in 1974.

This guitar is NOT being represented as an all-original collector-grade example. It is a player-grade vintage Les Paul with the important distinction that the original pickups are still present. Everything else on the guitar is non-vintage/replaced.

The guitar received a total refinish in 1974. The headstock and neck were also sanded down at that time. Binding on neck was removed and shaved down on sides (see neck specs) The body thickness remains untouched and has not been shaved or altered. It has also had a refret and replaced inlays.

Condition-wise, the guitar plays great and sounds amazing. The frets show no wear and the guitar is ready to be played. It has the feel, sound, and presence you want from a vintage Les Paul, without the museum-piece price tag.

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
