FS: Gibson Les Paul
*Background Story Start*
I give guitar lessons through a group home agency to abused kids. One of the house staff ladies came to me after guitar lessons and asked if I could help her sell a guitar. Her husband died last year and her son is in prison, and she needs to pay his bills by unloading some of his old music gear. I'm cleaning up the guitar and uploading pictures and stuff online to help her out. I'm not (as far as I know) getting a cut out of the sale. It's all helping her out.
*Background Story End*

So anyways, on to the goods. Pictures to come, after I clean it up and make it shiny.

$1600 shipped
2005 Gibson Les Paul Serial No. 024350425
Desert Burst Paint Job
Aged Binding around face of guitar and neck
Hardshell Case with Paperwork included.

Pictures to come. If you're interested shoot me a PM. I need to move it kind of quick.

As far as I know. It's got a Custom hardshell, but I think he might have just gotten the wrong case. The Serial Number points to a Les Paul Standard from '05.

I'm caught. I definitely want to help her out, but while it waits to be sold, I'm rocking it. So, I hope it can move moderately fast.

Oh, and more pictures.

Got pictures bump. If you would like any more pictures I can try. I don't have a really nice camera, so the defects don't really pop out much on the jpgs. There's some buckle rash, some streakiness all over the thing, and a little bit of what looks like a bump or something by the bottom strap button. The metal on most of the guitar has a bit of corrosion. I tried my best to clean them up, but don't really have the ability to do more.

The thing sounds fantastic. I plugged it in today and played around with it. Totally blows my cheaper guitars out of the water. (For me, that's saying a lot, because I've never really liked Les Pauls).

Again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can ask anybody on here I strive to be 100% honest in my dealings, so I'll tell you if there's anything wrong with it.

Thank goodness I don't have anywhere near $1700 right now, or else I'd be selling a kidney for it. If it sounds half as good as it looks, wow.

Ironically, my neighbor is in need of a kidney as well...

(I'm not even joking)

Thanks for the bump, too. I'm hoping despite it's few aesthetic flaws it'll move quick. It does sound great, by the way. Could use a pro setup, but it plays well, as is.

Yeah, I'd look into it, but you know I couldn't play that guitar when it was mine...

It'd look good as an expensive piece of wall art, too...

Alright, bumping it and hesitantly lowering the price. Most the money is better than none of the money she needs, I guess.

Thanks for the bump.

You know if YOU bought it it'd be gone...right? I'll give you candy in the box, too...

Yeah but I have the same guitar that I'm wanting to sell once yours is gone.

Awesome. So you can attest to the wickedness of this axe, no?
