2000 Gibson Custom Shop Historic Les Paul / SG Standard Faded Cherry Red
$ 4,199.00
Here's an original 2000 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul / SG Standard Historic Re-Issue.
Features a fantastic cherry gloss nitro lacquer finish that looks very much like the real deal, nickel hardware, and long frame Lyre Vibrola. This SG has a feel and tone that truly harkens back to the golden age of Gibson!
Pickups are original Classic '57s and they deliver just the right amount of punch and power, with a glassy clarity and great harmonic content. Acoustically resonant with great bark and a wooly midrange quality, this SG exemplifies everything we love about Gibson's modern Custom Shop offerings! This Les Paul SG plays exceedingly well with low action and solid intonation.
The SG Standard reissue stays true to the specs of this iconic instrument. Its distinct features and legendary tone are meticulously remade with all the precision and accuracy expected from Gibson Custom, including its solid mahogany body with twin cutaways, pointed horns, beveled edges and nickel-plated hardware, including the Maestro vibrato with Lyre-engraved tailpiece plate.
On the body, all of the electronics work great with individual Volume and Tone knobs for each pickup coupled to a three-way pickup selector toggle. All of the hardware is stock, and the nickel shows light patina and wear on the pickup covers, Tune-o-Matic bridge and Lyre Vibrola. The Vibrola has a very responsive and tight spring, reacting well to a light touch for surfy shimmies or deeper dives and the arm is very tight to the base of the unit, staying firmly in place when you let go.
This is a wonderful playing and sounding Custom Shop Historic SG Standard, perfect for the player and collector alike.
Guitar is all original and comes with the original Custom Shop HIstoric hardshell case and hang tags / case candy.
