1995 Gibson Les Paul Custom Limited Edition Black Beauty w/ 57 Classic PAFs & Case
Up for sale, a 1995 Gibson Les Paul Custom Limited Edition in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Produced in limited quantities for the Japanese market, this “Black Beauty” Les Paul hails from an increasingly highly regarded era of Gibson production colloquially known as the "good wood” era.
Traditional tonewoods include a carved maple top, mahogany body, and one-piece mahogany neck capped with a bound ebony fretboard, and this Les Paul Custom weighs 10lbs 5oz, yielding plenty of natural sustain and lively chime. The pair of ‘57 Classic PAF humbuckers are faithfully constructed with Alnico II magnets, and these pickups deliver warm, spongy lows, and clear trebles, with focused growl at the bridge and fatter bark at the neck. This Les Paul Custom has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Ebony nitro lacquer finish is framed by multi-ply binding, with cosmetic wear on the body limited to light buckle rash central to the back and a few pinhead-sized dings on the top and body perimeter. The nitro gloss on the neck profile is clean and smooth, and there is an area of repaired fingerboard separation on the bass-side of the nut, with a very shallow repaired split extending diagonally (and touched-up) on the shoulder of the carve behind frets 2-3.
The original brown Gibson USA hardshell case is included.
