Personal Thoughts:
This is one of those guitars with stories etched into every corner. It’s been the go-to gigging axe for our guitarist Ben, who’s featured it extensively on our YouTube channel. The Bare Knuckle Black Dogs take this Les Paul to a new tonal level—punchy, clear, and rich with harmonics, perfect for rock and blues.
The figured top under the rare Widow Green finish gives it a unique aesthetic—especially now with the road-worn character it’s earned. This isn’t a collector piece; it’s a workhorse. And one that’s seen real stages, not just studio lights.
Condition Report:
Heavily Played with plenty of dings, dents, buckle rash, worming, and scratches throughout. Hardware has naturally aged from use. Despite the cosmetic wear, it’s structurally sound and plays beautifully. Electronics function perfectly, and the frets have plenty of life.
