This was a special order guitar that a friend purchased. I picked it up from him, but I need to pass it on to get an engagement ring. This is a Les Paul Classic custom ordered in a Metallic Gold finish. The pickups were replaced with a Tom Anderson H1- pickup in the neck position and a H2+ pickup in the bridge position. These pickups are $100 a piece. They sound phenomenal and really open up the guitar to new possibilities. They blow away the stock pickups. The H1- has great clarity and warmth, but it really kicks. The H2+ is a hot output pickup that just wails. Very nice vintage tone. It has a rosewood neck with trapezoid inlays. This guitar has been babied the entire time. There isn't a scratch or ding on it. There is glare and shadow in the pictures, but this guitar is clean! It has been professionally set up with low action. It comes with a SKB hardshell case and Schaller straplock buttons.

$550 including shipping. I'd like to keep it in CONUS. Money order or cashier's check only.

If I knew you liked guitars, I could have offered this as trade bait for the Reverend I got from you. :p

Thanks for the compliment, Mal. It is a sweet guitar. :)

A long overdue BUMP!

I need to get rid of this baby to make way for a new guitar and amp.

And not a ring? Surely it worked out judging from your pic...:)

The ring is still in the works. We talked about it and we're happy with our relationship and we want to save up enough for a down payment before rushing into marriage with nothing. :) I've been working my butt off and have been putting money in savings. She said I could invest in a new guitar and amp as long as I get rid of some equipment. I will break even. So I'm widdling myself down to one bass, one bass head, one cab and one guitar (most likely a Tom Anderson or Suhr) and a guitar amp (Orange or Divided by 13). I'll also get paid to play guitar, but not bass so it will help out the ring fund as well. :)

Well congrats on the good head on both of your shoulders in that case. Good plan! Getting paid to play is a nice plus when it comes to gear purchases. So easy to justify then... Maybe that's not such a good thing!
