Up for sale, a 1991 Gibson Les Paul Custom in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. From an increasingly heralded era of Gibson production, this Les Paul makes the most of its traditional tonewoods, weighing 10lbs 13oz with impressive natural clarity and punch. The 490R and 498T humbuckers have a wide tonal palette, with Alnico II magnets in the neck pickup yielding more chime and warmth, while the Alnico V bridge pickup is tailored for gain with plenty of output and roar. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and strung with 10-46 strings, this Les Paul has low action and accurate intonation.

The Alpine White nitro lacquer gloss finish exhibits some graceful yellowing of the clear coat, with a couple "tan lines" on the back where stickers were previously affixed. Cosmetic wear is limited to a bit of buckle worming on the back at the bass-side waist and some minor dings and light finish scratches on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth nitro gloss, with a few shallow marks along the profile length concentrated at the treble-side shoulder.
The original Gibson USA brown tolex hardshell case is included, with a sticker from Aerosmith's 1994 "Get a Grip" tour of Japan on the case lid.
