Absolutely gorgeous and very clean USA Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus Heritage Cherry Flametop from 2013. A superb top on this one which we had hand-selected and imported from Japan. Gibson could have quite happily used these 2 slabs of maple for a ’59 custom shop historic (R9). The nitrocellulose finish is so thin on this you can see the ridges of the maple flame when angled towards light. It is a very easy guitar to play with a resonant body and nice easy action. It also has a comfortable neck siting somewhere between a '59 and '60 carve and it's a good weight at 4.1kg. I've tried to catch the flame on it as best I can, but it really is nice and is what initially drew me to this guitar, there is also some stunning maple flame showing all over the top. The condition is breathtaking for a 12 year old Les Paul. There are no notable blemishes. A pickguard was never fitted so no holes (no pickguard included). There are absolutely no breaks or repairs. The neck is dead straight, truss rod fine, and I can see no obvious fret wear. Some frets do have a little discolouration near the top end, which can be polished off. The Burstbucker Pros on this sound superb. Comes complete with docs and original Gibson HSC, which is in also in great condition. A really nice Les Paul Standard in wonderful condition, and even better if you like them with highly figured flame!
