This pre loved Gibson Les Paul Studio in Ebony is a sleek, elegant, and performance-driven electric guitar that blends iconic Les Paul tone with refined aesthetics. Built in 1996, it is in good used condition and has wear that is to be expected on a guitar which is nearly 30 years old. There is some buckle rash on the back of the guitar and a few light marks on the front and on the scratchplate (these are difficult to photograph due to the reflective nature of the finish). Includes a non-Gibson unbranded hardcase
