Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Plus in Cherry Sunburst finish. Made in the USA in 2012, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Weight Relief Mahogany body with AAA Figured Maple top, a Mahogany neck and 22 Medium Jumbo fret bound Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with a set of Grover locking tuning machines and a Chrome Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The pickups are a pair of Gibson Burstbucker Pro humbuckers, these are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Asymmetrical 60’s SlimTaper profile feeling suitably traditional and chunky in the hand without being at all cumbersome. This creates a feeling of dependability whilst remaining articulate enough for technical playing. The 10”-16” Compound Radius fingerboard strikes the perfect balance between comfortable chord playing and smooth lead lines, making for a truly authentic yet refined Les Paul playing experience, whilst the Jumbo frets provide a rock-solid playing surface whilst also assisting with string bending and vibrato techniques.
The pair of Gibson Burstbucker Pro humbuckers in this guitar offer warm and rich tones, exactly as you would expect from a Les Paul. The Burstbucker Pro neck humbucker is thick and creamy, saturating beautifully into full-bodied distortion as you crank the gain whilst turning the volume and tone controls provides a crisp, crystalline clean tone. The bridge position is as bright and biting as you could ever need, helping you to cut through any mix with your rock rhythm tones. The traditional Les Paul control layout keeps things feeling simple, with easy and intuitive tonal shaping.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.

Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall very good condition. The bass side tip of the headstock displays a small chip to the lacquer, this breaks through exposing the wood beneath. The lacquer on the rear face displays lacquer checking around the tuning machines, this is common with nitrocellulose finishes. The front face displays light scratching which is only visible under direct light.
Neck: Overall excellent condition. Any markings are difficult to discern.
Body: Overall very good condition. The edges of the body display light indentations, this is most noticeable on the bass side edge where the indentations have exposed the wood beneath. The rear face presents light indentations which do not break through the finish. On the rear face near to where the body meets the neck small markings are present, this is due to the guitar being on a stand and the nitrocellulose finish reacting to the finish. The front face shows early signs of finish checking which can be seen near the controls, this is common with nitrocellulose finishes.
Fret Condition:
The frets demonstrate very light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
