FS GIBSON CUSTOM SHOP "54 LES PAUL CUSTOM w/ OHSC & COA 'BLACKBEAUTY' KRIEGER $5850

[musicofanatic]

2014 Gibson "Robby Krieger 1954 Les Paul Custom" (read about it here: http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/E...ustom/Robby-Krieger-1954-Les-Paul-Custom.aspx), with parts swapped out to standard 1954 specs and Bigsby added. Those with knowledge of original-issue 50s LPCs will see the obvious. If you lack full knowledge of the original Les Paul Custom, the Krieger reissue, custom shop guitars, by all means, google all this up and fully educate yourself. This guitar is #002 of 100 "hand-aged" to accurately resemble Krieger's guitar. Only a hair over 9 lbs, and all original parts included plus extras. For my tastes the "hand aging" (which seems to be consistent on all examples of this run I have seen) is a bit heavy handed, but this guitar plays/sounds/feels/tastes/smells so right that the cosmetics are of secondary consideration for me. Whilst I am a subtle Bigsby practitioner, I have been extremely pleased with the tuning stability. I am highly skilled to pack for shipping with a safe arrival at an address in the 48 contiguous US (ONLY!), but special consideration will be given to a buyer that shows up at my door with cash ($$$USD$$$) bulging out of their pockets! No trades, $$$ only. Thanks!

Yes, and all the parts that came with the guitar asThe Robby Krieger model are included, should on wish to return it to that status. If the purchaser wishes, I will gladly re-install all original Krieger components

Staple pickup looks awesome

Staple pickup looks awesome

Sounds even better than it looks! The Krieger guitar has a Duncan Firebird type pickup in that position. Even with the substantial structure hanging below the staple p.u. no routing was necessary to fit it in the p.u. cavity
