This recent trade in is a pretty rare Les Paul Studio Plus. It plays great and sound really throaty like a Les Paul should. Gibson made these upgraded Studio's from 2001-2005. It was like the Les Paul Studio model but with a figured carved maple top, gold hardware and 490R and 498T Alnico II magnet humbuckers. The 22-fret rosewood on mahogany neck had pearloid trapezoid inlays. This model was available in Desert Burst, transparent black or transparent red finishes with gold hardware. Our guitar is finished in the attractive desert burst and has a great flamed maple top. The guitar has been played and it shows player wear you'd expect. There's also a small chip here and there. All of it adds to the vibe of a guitar that was played but not abused. If you're looking for a rock solid USA made Les Paul here's your guitar. Ships in its OHSC.
