An extremely rare 1985 Gibson, Les Paul, Spirit II XLP 400, ebony; made only in 1985!
In my opinion, the best and most versatile Les Paul style Gibson guitar ever built. A state of the art, beautifully designed and expertly engineered piece of rock 'n roll machinery.
She is a black beauty, hard rocking, killer machine in excellent overall condition with a hockey stick headstock, Grover tuners, locking string nut, a wide ebony fretboard, beautifully aged binding, carved top, double cut-a-ways, super hot pickups, both single coil and humbucker, coil taps and a Gibson-Floyd Rose tremolo system. All combined into that great vintage Les Paul feel. Gibson threw everything they had into this model and it was only manufactured in 1985! She plays like a dream! She has average play wear, straight neck, low action and excellent frets. There are 2 small areas, one on each side of the headstock wrist, where she probably was on a guitar stand that interacted with her nitro finish, that were touched up long ago. Hard to notice unless you look for it, closeup photos available. She is beautifully aged with some very fine finish checking and a beautiful mellow yellow, even aging to all binding!
A very rare and a very hesitant offering.
Comes with a new, high quality, form fitting hard-shell case. It is heavy, so postage will be a little more.
Price is firm.
Thanks for looking.
