One of the best MIJ Les Pauls ever made, maybe one of the better Les Pauls made anywhere. Fantastic guitar with a gorgeous "plain-but-not-boring" top. Do some searching around on Google for the reissue specs, its a highly accurate '57 from the lacquer finish to the neck carve to the slab maple top, fret edge binding, US Gibson '57 Classics, accurate TOM, etc. This one is a bit of a brute at ~10lbs. The weight has never bothered me, always seemed like a LP should have some heft. This one has just the right amount of play wear with zero damage. Some wear on the frets above the 12th fret from a previous owner & I believe the nut has been replaced, intonates & plays w/ zero issues. All of the nickel hardware has a KILLER patina that is often missing on the Reissues which have spent too much time in their cases. . .
More pix/details/etc available via PM.
I need to get $1650 shipped which I think is a killer price for a RI series ObG - hasn't been a reissue sold on eBay in the last 30 days, but ordinary ObG guitars are now fetching $1500+. A few months ago when I listed this a RI had sold to a buyer in Australia for the equivalent of $2300USD.
Includes a brown/pink Gibson case + the original ObG bag. I've had this listed a few times over the last couple years, but I'm really just not playing it enough to keep it.
