Description

High quality second hand recommended item!
This 2004 Hard Rock Maple Aged guitar is a highly recommended pre-owned example, with many excellent examples in stock! The top features a dignified, realistically grained HRM finish, studded with numerous flecks that demonstrate its hardness. The exquisite grain, with its authenticity and aura of authenticity, will leave you gasping in awe! This guitar comes in the popular Iced Tea color, and is a truly sophisticated piece! This aged guitar from this period was crafted by the master Tom Murphy!

This is a high-quality pre-owned Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue HRM Murphy Aged! This 2004 model was even more stable after the legendary 2003 minor change!
The Historic Collection Les Paul was highly refined in the 2000s, with minor changes made in 2003, and no major changes were made to its specifications until 2008.
The neck shape was refined, the pickups were changed to Burst Bucker Type 1 & 2, and the capacitor was changed to a Bummblebee (replica) in 2003. Conversely, the non-wired ABR-1 bridge was adopted the previous year in 2002, but there were complaints in the US that the bridge would come off when a string broke, so the bridge was reverted to the wired ABR-1 bridge.

This guitar has a truly regal presence, so genuine it's hard to mistake it for the real thing! This exquisite hard rock maple features an aged finish with numerous flecks that prove its hardness. The body and neck have been aged by master craftsman Tom Murphy, creating a stately presence that evokes a timeless history. The top features a dignified, authentic HRM grain, teeming with numerous flecks that prove its hardness. The exquisite, authentic grain, exuding an aura of authenticity, will leave you gasping in awe!

The warranty from our previous distributor, Yamano Music, also states "59 LP REI IT HRM AGE"! The realistically faded appearance of the Sunrise Tea Burst is so striking that it could easily be mistaken for an original Burst! "It looks so sturdy!" You can almost hear the connoisseur muttering at the magnificent grain, and it's enough to draw a sigh of amazement.

The hard maple top produces a fast-response sound that's also excellent!
The 1959 Rounded Profile neck shape gives you a thick, rich tone!
The pickups are a classic Burstbucker type 1 (R) & type 2 (T) combination, a classic choice from the time! Compared to the current standard Custombucker Alnico III pickups, which have a stronger bite, these pickups offer a sweeter, more mellow tone. Plug them into an amp and you'll enjoy the thick, luscious sound that's so characteristic of a Les Paul!

It has a manly tone that follows your picking strokes and bites with a bite-like feel! The sharp rear and clear front end combine to create a superb half-tone! From backing to lead, it has a perfect grip, and its touch makes playing a joy for anyone who picks it up, making it a supreme masterpiece that surpasses even history!

This is a recommended high-quality used item! It was made in 2004.

This guitar has been aged, so scratches, dents, cracks, and paint peeling may be visible later, but it is in excellent condition and highly recommended! There is some dullness in the paint due to aging, and red discoloration of the binding throughout. It is possible that dents on the tip of the headstock and scratches on the back of the body may have been added later. None of these issues affect playability. It has been fully maintained and cleaned at our shop, so it's ready to play! There are internal cracks on the front volume and tone knobs, but they do not affect or affect current playability.

The frets have been treated to remove scratches. Ready to use. Approximately 95% remaining.
The nut has been adjusted. There are no problems with current use. The truss rod can be adjusted normally.

The weight is approximately 4.18 kg, which is balanced to produce a firm sound.
This is a very cool guitar with a hard HRM grain and the popular color Iced Tea!

Accessories include the original brown hard case, key, AGED HISTORIC REISSUE certificate, warranty card from the previous distributor, Yamano Musical Instruments, which reads "59 LP REI IT HRM AGE", serial number tag, Gibson Gold Warranty, Japanese Owner's Manual, and Customer Care Guide.
