Up for sale is my 2010 Gibson USA Les Paul Special in Cherry Red with the original hard shell case. I am the original owner of this guitar and it is in absolute mint/like new condition, basically w/o a mark on it anywhere (even the pick guard is fairly clean but does have some minor pick scratches). This instrument was rarely played and simply kept in a closet for most of its life. I treat all of my personal instruments like gold and always polish them after barely touching them, and I never let anyone else borrow them, play them, etc. My instruments are usually as good as can be. The frets also have ample life in them due to the instrument not being heavily played. The guitar weighs per my scale 8 lbs. 14.8 ounces.

The case is also in mint condition but one clasp has just a small amount of oxidation on it. Apart from that, the case is nearly spotless inside and out and fully functional.

These are amazing instruments for newer players especially since they're quality made, not too terribly expensive, and have a great tone. They're also very easy to play due to the fairly wide Gibson neck. I've owned both this one and a custom shop model and, whereas I'd say the Custom Shop model is slightly better, it's not worth the difference in price, imo at least.

Please feel free to email me if you need any other information. If you're wondering, I'm clearing out a bunch of my personal gear simply because I have too many instruments at this point. Thanks!
