Up for sale is a fantastic-playing 2001 Gibson Les Paul Standard finished in a gorgeous Honeyburst. Guitars from this early 2000s era of Gibson production are increasingly sought after by players and collectors for their exceptional build quality and tone. This instrument combines the resonance of a well-matured core with premium components chosen to optimize performance, stability, and authentic vintage aesthetics.

Condition & Aesthetics

• Finish: Honeyburst nitrocellulose finish over the maple top and mahogany body.
• Body Construction: Features a desirable one-piece mahogany body (rather than a two-piece back), much like Custom Shop specifications.
• Cosmetic Condition: Used and naturally aged with authentic character. It features expected dings, scuffs, and play wear—including a spot where the nitro finish has worn through on the maple top where the right arm rests. The overall nitro has faded, giving it a genuine vintage look rather than an artificial relic finish.
• Frets: In very good condition with plenty of life left, playing cleanly up and down the neck.
• Resonance: The nitro finish is nice and slim (similar to VOS specs), allowing the woods to breathe and remain fully resonant.
• Weight: 4.5 kg, offering a solid, classic Les Paul sustain and feel.

Upgrades & Specifications

This instrument has been carefully upgraded with top-tier hardware and vintage-correct electronics:

• Pickups: Upgraded to a matched set of genuine Gibson '57 Classic (Neck) and '57+ Classic (Bridge) humbuckers for warm, articulate, vintage-correct PAF tones.
• Electronics & Wiring: Control cavity neatly rewired with 50s-style wiring, Orange Drop capacitors, and vintage-correct braided shielding wire for clear treble retention and zero signal muddiness.
• Bridge & Tailpiece: Fitted with premium Faber hardware—including a Faber ABRN bridge (ABR-1 style) and a Faber lightweight aluminum stop tailpiece for enhanced string-to-body resonance and sustain.
• Tuners: Upgraded to Faber Deluxe tuners (Kluson-style) for smooth, reliable tuning stability with a period-correct look.
• Hardware Details: Equipped with Gibson Historic tall pickup rings in cream, matching the vintage profile.
