About this listing
The Guitar: Up for sale is a stunning 2018 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Blood Orange Burst. This is one of the most sought-after finishes from a fantastic year for Gibson, featuring the modern playability of the "Slim Taper" neck and the tonal versatility of the 2018 electronics. Aesthetics: The Blood Orange Burst finish is flawless. The AAA flame maple top is vibrant with tight, straight figuring. The nitrocellulose lacquer is glossy and pristine, with zero dings, scratches, or finish checking.Playability: The neck is straight and fast, with the signature Asymmetrical Slim Taper profile. The frets are level and polished (medium jumbo), and the action is set perfectly for low, effortless playing.Electronics: All four push/pull controls (coil tap, phase, pure bypass) function smoothly. The Burstbucker Pro pickups are clear, articulate, and noise-free.Hardware: Grover locking tuners, bridge, and stopbar show no signs of corrosion or wear.Why "Used"? This guitar is sold as "Used" simply because it is a pre-owned instrument with a serial number (180007853) and has been set up for playing. However, it has no known cosmetic flaws. It is essentially a "New Open Box" guitar at a fraction of the retail price.What’s Included:Gibson USA Les Paul Standard (2018)Original Gibson Hardshell Case (Brown Tolex, plush interior)All Original Case (with manual) Original Pickguard Included (Uninstalled): This guitar comes with its factory-original pickguard and matching switch surround (featuring the 'Rhythm/Treble' markings).
