{"product_id":"06-2800005772128","title":"[SN 5 4299] USED GIBSON USA \/ Les Paul Classic Premium Plus Modified Heritage Cherry Sunburst [06]","description":"A used 1995 Les Paul Classic Premium Plus featuring an AAA-grade top has arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAlthough part of the USA lineup rather than the Custom Shop, the Les Paul Classic is a reissue that achieves a high level of perfection. The Les Paul Classic Premium Plus is the deluxe version of this model, featuring an AAA-grade figured maple top. The mahogany back is also of high quality, typical of that era.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck features a slim taper with a slightly thinner grip inspired by 1960s specifications, and the rosewood fingerboard incorporates inlays that recreate a slightly weathered look.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is equipped with 496R and 500T pickups. While the original Les Paul Standard from that era featured chrome-plated hardware, this model uses nickel-plated hardware and features an ABR-1 bridge.\u003cbr\u003e \nOriginally, the Classic model did not come with a pickguard installed when new; it was included as an accessory. However, this particular guitar does have a pickguard installed. Since the “1960” engraving that should be present on the included pickguard is missing, it is likely not the original pickguard that came with the guitar.\u003cbr\u003e \nAdditionally, the nut has been replaced, the rear volume knob has been replaced, the jack plate has been replaced with a metal one, and the strap pins were initially replaced with locking pins but have since been reverted to the standard type.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe wiring has been modified: the pot that would normally control the tone of the rear pickup has been converted to a master tone control, and the front pickup’s tone control has been replaced with a 4-position rotary switch. This rotary switch functions as a 3-position plus bypass low-cut control; although the parts and circuitry differ, this modification appears to be similar in concept to the baritone switch found on models like the ES-355.\u003cbr\u003e \nConsequently, the section of the metal panel inside the control cavity that holds the pots—specifically the area housing the rotary switch—has been cut out, and the switch is now mounted directly to the body.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are signs of melted paint due to stand burn marks around the 10th fret on the back of the neck and near the body end. Marks from a clip-on tuner are also visible on the back of the headstock.\u003cbr\u003e \nAdditionally, the entire guitar has been relacquered.\u003cbr\u003e \nDue to aging, the binding has shrunk, creating a step where it meets the body’s wood; there are also cracks in the finish over the binding.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are two paint cracks, each about 3 cm long, on the back of the body, as well as buckle marks and other marks.\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall, there are fine dents, scuffs, wipe marks, and picking scratches, and rust and tarnish are visible on the metal parts.\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some scratches are present, but the instrument is suitable for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 5 4299\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1995\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: United States\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard case\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.19 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: Note: Tested up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no issues (some play remaining)\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing\u003cbr\u003e \nString height (low-string side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString Action (Treble Side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 43.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 20.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 22.6 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nParts Replaced: Nut, pickguard, strap pins, jack plate, 1 knob\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
