A stunning and un common model from the early 2000's period of Gibson USA, the Les Paul Studio Premium Plus. This model featured the brilliant stripped down work horse that is the Les Paul Studio with the addition of a AAA+ flamed maple top and gold hardware. This particular example is absolutely stunning and has a top that would rival any Custom Shop grade guitar.
This particular example has a few unique features that make it a fantastic example of a Les Paul. Firstly the weight coming in at a staggering 6lb 8oz making this a super light weight guitar to play that feels great in the hands and on a strap. The guitar also features a 1 piece which is most likely a large factor in why it is so light. This lightweight element also makes for a supremely resonant guitar and this guitar is nice and price and really rings with a fantastic crisp so und both unplugged and amplified, a great example. The guitar has a lovely dark rosewood board with a great condition set of frets with very minimal wear to speak of.
The electronics of this guitar have been replaced for a set of DiMarzio 36th Anniversary PAF's and 50's wiring loom made with top of the range components. The double cream pickups really add to the bright look of this guitar and sound fantastic, really bright and articulate.
Condition wise the guitar is extremely clean with only a couple of really small marks to the clear coat that are very hard to spot unless in the right light. The guitar comes with an aftermarket Gibson leather case which given the super light weight of this guitar compliments it well as its much lighter than the equivalent hard case!
A fantastic piece that has everything you could ever want in a Les Paul and is a real head turner! Grab this beautiful Gibson piece today!
