Description
This is an all original Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus in Heritage Cherry Sunburst dated to August 28 2002. It is one of the nicest Les Paul models we've seen in a while,
Aside from the bookmatched top with very nice figuring enhanced by the sunburst, it is in very good clean condition with very light wear and natural finish sinking. Fret wear is negligible, and the guitar plays very well. At this point Gibson was doing some welcome weight relief.
While the creme pickguard is included in the original hard shell case, Gibson didn't factory install pickguards on figured tops, so there are no extra mounting holes in the top or side.
From the included QC Inspection card, the model identifier for this guitar is is LP6+HSNH1. This breaks down to "Les Paul 60's Neck Premium Plus Top, Heritage Sunburst (Cherry), Nickel Hardware, First Quality".
As with most other Les Paul models, the materials include Mahogany for the body back and neck, a bookmatched Flame Maple cap, and Indian Rosewood for the fingerboard. The Gibson headstock logo is Mother of Pearl, the trapezoidal position markers acrylic. Tuners are Gibson Deluxe vintage style with plastic Keystone buttons, and the bridge and tailpiece are a standard Tune-o-Matic type model and stop tail.
Electronics are stock, and the pickups are either BurstBuckers or '57 Classics; BurstBuckers are slightly brighter with more clarity and brightness, and also slightly less hum cancelling, due to a deliberate mismatch in the coil windings. This mismatch is a reference to original PAF's which had some manufacturing inconsistencies like this. 57 Classics, on the other hand, are wound to Seth Lover's original patent specifications, which due to the technical limitations of the time were apparently never really met - perhaps like the legendary Pirate's Code, were more of a guideline.
The original black 'Gibson USA' hard shell case is included and contains the original QC card and pick-guard with mounting hardware.
