Condition
Cosmetically this guitar is in very good condition with some mild marks only (see pics). This one came from the factory with no pickguard (no screw holes present). Mostly stock except for upgraded Grover kidney bean tuners and upgraded metal output jack. Frets are in excellent condition. Very dark, beautiful wood on the back of guitar, unlike most Tributes.
Features
— Mahogany body with maple cap
— Mahogany neck, rosewood board, rounded 50s neck profile
— P90 pickups & Tune-o-matic bridge
Sound & Playability
This LP Tribute has the slightly more chunky rounded 50s neck profile and it plays great all over the neck. All electronics work perfectly. The Tribute line sports a thin finish that 1) Let’s your tone come through and 2) wears quickly for a nice relic look. Mahogany woods provide Les Paul sustain and the P90 setup is a rare configuration on the Tributes. Large neck inlays, aged plastics, and gold knobs round out the features. Cherry on top is my detailed setup and bulletproof packing. Thanks!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. 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. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
