1997 Gibson Les Paul Yamano Limited Edition Custom Shop Heritage Cherry Burst
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This 1997 Gibson Les Paul is a Limited Edition, built to spec for the Japanese distributor, Yamano.
Yamano guitars are akin to editions you see for CME, Wildwood and others. The distributor purchased a ton of Gibson inventory, and built the business to a level that they could ask for specific models. Some say they even had the advantage of getting better woods, etc.
This guitar is a killer. A Les Paul with P-90s is something else. It just drives an amp differently than a humbucker loaded guitar.
The instrument looks like it was barely used. Frets are tall and clean. There are a few small chips on the end of the headstock - a place to look when you are fully checking out a clean guitar. You can't call it mint if it has received even a small bonk or two up there!
The body and back of the neck are similarly clean, with just a few small dings and signs of careful use.
While the guitar leans to an early 50s style Les Paul with the P90s, you get a stopbar and ABR1 bridge for great tone and intonation. The neck is close in thickness to a 1959 reissue LP.
The guitar set up perfectly and plays like a dream. The truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustments, if needed. There are no changes, repairs, or issues with the guitar whatsoever.
The original hardshell case is included.
