Gibson USED Les Paul Classic Plus (Honey Burst) 2000 [SN. 010421]

Recommended player-condition used item!
Gibson has long reigned as a top brand.
The ever-popular Les Paul Classic Plus is now available as a recommended player's condition used item! This one was made in 2000.
This guitar boasts a beautiful, atmospheric wood grain and a stylish Honey Burst finish!

The original Les Paul Model was released in 1952, and even now, more than 60 years later, the Gibson Les Paul series remains immensely popular as a standard in electric guitars.

This is the Les Paul Classic, which was as popular as the Les Paul Standard in the 1990s. In addition to the Les Paul Classic with a plain maple top, there were also models with figured maple tops in the lineup, but this is the Les Paul Classic Plus, which is positioned in the mid-range. The rear pickup cavity is marked LPCP (Les Paul Classic Plus).
The body, crafted from dense mahogany—a wood characteristic of this season—is laminated with a top made of maple that features a subtle yet beautiful flame pattern, a hallmark of the Classic Plus series. This gives it a different feel from the Historic series, which used woods with a more undulating texture.
As proof of the high-quality figured wood grain unique to the Classic Plus, the pickguard holes have also been drilled! A pickguard marked "1960" is included. (Screws are not included.)
The guitar weighs approximately 4.07 kg, and its balance produces the characteristic resonance and tone of a Les Paul.

The neck is a slim taper neck, thinner than the Les Paul Standard of that era, making it easy to grip. Furthermore, the slightly flattened top of the back of the neck makes it more comfortable for those who frequently use a classic-style grip.
The distinctive thin-grip neck offers excellent playability, making it ideal for those who dislike thicker necks or prefer technical playing styles. The slender neck produces a bright, edgy resonance that's not too thick, making it easy to blend into a band sound! It's a high-quality instrument that combines excellent playability with a powerful tone!
This guitar was manufactured in 2000, so the silkscreen print on the headstock reads "Les Paul Classic".

The fretboard is made of rosewood with binding, and the inlays are made of a slightly greenish material. Along with the small headstock, this is a feature unique to the Classic series and not found in the Standard series of that time.

The guitar features a 500T pickup in the bridge position and a 496R in the neck position. Both are humbuckers using ceramic magnets, but they have excellent picking nuance reproduction capabilities and are outstanding pickups that cover a wide range of genres, from blues and jazz to hard rock and metal.

We've just received a recommended player's condition used item! It's a 2000 model.
The tip of the truss rod cover was cracked once and has been glued back together. It is currently attached, but it may come off if it is tightened too much or dropped. This truss rod cover will be sold as is.
However, even if it breaks, I believe it can still be secured by tightening the screws.

Other than that, there are some minor scratches, dents, scratches on the upper back of the body, small paint dents, paint discoloration, paint peeling, dullness of the paint on the back of the neck, a dent near the 12th fret on the back of the neck, and cracks throughout the fret area of ​​the neck binding, but none of these affect playability. It shows signs of use, but it's a guitar with a great character! We have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately. There are quite a few scratches and dents, but it is a recommended used guitar with plenty of character!

The frets have been leveled and it's ready to use. Approximately 75% of the fret life remains.
The nuts are currently functional and there are no issues with their use. The truss rod also functions normally and there are no problems with its adjustment.

The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.

Accessories include the original brown hard case, key, and pickguard marked "1960". (Mounting screws are not included.)

Don't miss this opportunity!
