Pre Loved Gibson Les Paul Standard Limited Edition 2004 Santa Fe Sunrise inc Hardcase

This pre loved Gibson Les Paul Standard Limited Edition 2004 – Santa Fe Sunrise is a relatively rare, visually striking variant of the classic Les Paul, produced during a short mid-2000s run where Gibson experimented with upgraded specs and unique finishes. It is in good condition with just a couple of small dings, some tarnishing on the hardware and a small amount of fret wear. The case has considerable wear.

This model is part of a limited edition series (2004–2005) that combined features from multiple Les Paul lines—Standard, Custom, and vintage-inspired specs—into one hybrid instrument.

• Produced in limited numbers (generally believed to be a few hundred to a couple thousand units)

• Available in a small set of special finishes, including Santa Fe Sunrise

The defining feature is its distinctive finish:

• A warm golden–orange burst, sometimes with reddish tones

• Usually paired with a highly figured AAA flame maple top

• Designed to resemble desert sunrise colours, giving it a unique visual identity

This finish is much less common than traditional Les Paul bursts, which adds to its appeal.

Body & Neck

• Mahogany body with carved maple top

• Set mahogany neck

• Typically found with either a ’50s or ’60s neck profile

• 24.75" scale length

Fingerboard

• Ebony fingerboard (unusual for a Standard and more typical of a Custom)

• Trapezoid inlays

Binding & Aesthetics

• Full body binding

• Headstock binding with crown inlay (a Custom-style detail)

• Nickel hardware

Pickups & Electronics

• Burstbucker Pro or similar PAF-style humbuckers

• Traditional Les Paul controls: 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way switch

This model blends classic Les Paul warmth with slightly enhanced clarity:

• Thick, sustaining tone from the mahogany and maple construction

• Brighter attack and tighter response due to the ebony fretboard

• Vintage-style output pickups with strong midrange and clear highs

This guitar stands out because it mixes features from different Gibson tiers:

• Standard construction with Custom-style visual and material upgrades

• Vintage-inspired electronics with modern reliability

• Limited-run finish not seen in regular production

It’s often considered a “hidden gem” among early-2000s Gibson guitars
