Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway Special P-90 2004 - Gloss Yellow w/ Bigsby! 44301
Description
Up for sale is a 2004 Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway guitar in the sought-after gloss TV Yellow finish. This double cut is a real head-turner with classic tone thanks to the two soapbar p90 pickups and mahogany body and neck. It has been modified with an authentic Bigsby tremolo, as well as a mini-humbucker in the bridge position
Condition
Very good condition with a couple small areas of wear (see pics). Frets are in great condition as is the beautiful rosewood board. Note this model has very less common fully bound neck. TAll electronics work great.
Sound and Playability
The signature soapbar P90s have the tone we all quest for. The mahogany body and neck combination ensures outstanding sustain and resonance. The rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth and responsive playing experience, while the '60s neck profile adds to the vintage feel. Comes with a near new brown hard case. (I do a full setup and expert packing: info at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!
Guitar Setup
All setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
Manufacturer Info
The killer classic double cut with P90 edge and vibrant nitro finish! The nitrocellulose lacquer finish on the Gibson Les Paul Faded Double Cutaway Electric Guitar makes for great looks. But you also get cool feel, wide-open vibrant tone, and a whole lot of guitar for very little cash. Solid mahogany body and set neck add to the resonance and great sustain while classic P90 single-coil pickups provide the sharp bite of the very first Les Pauls. Rosewood fretboard.
