LPSTEBGH) with a gorgeous black ebony finish on the body, gold trim, and mother of pearl fret inlays on the rosewood fingerboard with a black Gibson hardshell case lined with white plush lining.

The guitar is accompanied by several index cards with autographs and in some cases messages from these players as well as a black suede Rock Steady guitar strap, a guitar stand, a pick case containing 16 picks, a thumb pick, a Korg Chromatic tuner CA-30, an owner's manual, a Planet Waves string winder, an unopened pack of Cleartone guitar strings, a short cable (likely to connect 2 pedals).

" This Studio model is part of the modern collection of Les Paul guitars, designed to maintain tone yet provide weight relief.

It’s engineered to provide a solid core through the center of the guitar to retain the classic Les Paul sound. Unlike a full chambered design it is less prone to feedback or affecting the tonality and resonance of the guitar. " . . Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection. .
