    Such a great guitar. The look and feel spells quality throughout. This is my third Les Paul and I love it. Gibson makes nice guitars. It sounds awesome through my JCM 2000. Cleans are clean and dirty is classic. Great guitar.

    Submitted as part of a sweepstakes

    I've been eyeing this color for a long time and was able to find one online that I really liked. The guitar came nicely set up and with the strings tuned down (to prevent damage to the neck while in transit, according to GC) and once I tuned it up it played great. #sweepstakes

    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. I'm sorry but I don't have one to weigh. This will be approximately 8.5 – 9.0 lbs
