Personal Thoughts:
This is a particularly handsome example of a mid-2000s Les Paul Custom, featuring a genuinely attractive AAA+ flamed maple top — something you don’t always see on Customs from this period. The Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish shows the flame beautifully without being over the top, giving it a classy, almost Custom Shop–esque appearance.
Tonally, this guitar delivers exactly what a Les Paul Custom should: thick, authoritative lows, strong mids, and a smooth, singing top end. The ebony fingerboard adds clarity and snap, making this a great choice for players who want definition and punch alongside the traditional Custom weight and sustain.
It’s a serious, no-nonsense Les Paul that balances looks, tone, and playability very well.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. A few light signs of careful use only, with no breaks, repairs, or structural issues. Frets are in great shape, hardware is clean, and the finish has aged very nicely. Supplied with original Gibson hardshell case.
