1997 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Florentine semi-hollow body electric guitar, made in USA; Body: trans black finished AAAAA figured maple top upon chambered mahogany body, a few minor dings but generally very good; Neck: good; Fretboard: ebony; Frets: good; Electrics: working, upgraded Seymour Duncan '59 and Duncan Distortion humbucker pickups, replacement potentiometers (original pickups and potentiometers included); Case: original hard case; Weight: 3.63kg; Overall condition: very good

*A very rare and early Gibson Custom Shop guitar. The construction is very different from the later ES Les Paul series as they were built like a regular chambered Les Paul and had the f-holes cut through the thick maple top. This guitar is the same year as Noel Gallaghers iconic silver sparkle example and the serial number is very close.
