Offered for sale my rare Gibson Les Paul Class-5, manufactured in 2001. It has a gorgeous AAAAA Sienna Burst Quilt Maple 3-D top, mahogany body and one piece mahogany neck. The body has dynamic sound chambers that not only make the guitar lighter but add to its already brilliant resonance. Tone chambers simply increase the finer tonal properties already present in the wood, they don't change the wood's essential character. And a secondary benefit of the honeycomb construction is weight reduction. The weight of this guitar is 4.1 kg.
The guitar is in excellent condition, and has no repairs, no buckle rush or deep damage whatsoever, just minor wear scratches from a regular use. The frets are in excellent condition and have a plenty of playing time ahead. The action is low and comfortable to play.
I have a link for a video with this guitar:

Breathtaking quilt top The Gibson Custom Les Paul Class 5 Quilt Top sports jaw-dropping visuals, courtesy of its glorious quilt maple top. Zoom in close, and revel in what is one of the most delectable guitar tops we've seen here at Sweetwater (and we see a lot of them). Tastefully framed with cream binding, this axe is truly something to behold.
Chambered Ultra-Lite body The Gibson CustomLes Paul Class 5 Quilt Top is comfortably lightweight. Back in the day, playing a Les Paul onstage night after night usually required regular visits to your chiropractor. The hunk of mahogany and maple that produced the prodigious LP sustain was also quite heavy. No longer. Gibson's figured out how to retain the legendary Les Paul sound, while significantly reducing the weight of the guitar by strategically chambering the body. They call it "Ultra-Lite," and if you're a Les Paul fan, it's a revelation.
