Personal Thoughts:

This 2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard Premium Birdseye is an absolute stunner. The Trans Amber finish highlights the rare birdseye maple top, which adds a striking, almost three-dimensional texture to the classic Les Paul aesthetic. The mahogany body combined with the weight relief makes it comfortable to play without sacrificing sustain or resonance. The Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver that legendary Les Paul tone, offering thick, creamy sustain in the neck position and tight, articulate bite in the bridge—perfect for anything from blues and rock to heavier genres. The push/pull coil-splitting function adds extra tonal versatility, making this a more flexible Les Paul than most traditional models.

Condition Report:

This Gibson Les Paul Standard Premium Birdseye is in mint condition, showing no visible wear, dings, or scratches on the body, neck, or hardware. The nitro finish is still glossy and vibrant, with no fading or checking. The rosewood fingerboard is smooth and well-maintained, with frets in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear or flattening. The hardware, including the Grover locking tuners and Tune-O-Matic bridge, remains clean and free of tarnishing. All electronics work perfectly, with no static, crackling, or dropouts. This guitar comes complete with its original Gibson hard case, making it an excellent choice for both players and collectors looking for a rare birdseye maple-top Les Paul in pristine condition.
