Gibson Les Paul 70s Tribute Goldtop w/ Duncan Mini Humbuckers 21455

You're looking at a beautiful 2012 Gibson 70s Les Paul Tribute Goldtop. These 70s Tributes are outfitted with mini-humbuckers and they have the neck “volute” true to the period.This one was upgraded with Seymour Duncan pickups, at about $200, they provide a significant sound upgrade from the stock pickups. The back of the neck has been professionally sanded down for a smooth satin feel so your hand slides more easily.

Sports a mahogany body, solid carved maple top, and maple neck with baked maple fretboard. The 12-inch radius neck has what Gibson calls a "unique 70s thin-to-thick profile." It's basically a 60s SlimTaper down by the nut and chunkier like a 50s rounded profile higher up on the neck.


Frets are in very good condition. Action low, set up and ready to play. It has "traditional weight relief" but is still pretty solid at 9 pounds, 1 ounces. Cosmetically, it has some small marks shown in pics, which are getting it well on its way to becoming a nice mild relic. No case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks for looking.

Guitar Setup
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. 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 15 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 "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
