Between the incredible figuring, surprisingly light weight, and how effortlessly it plays, there's a lot to love about this particular Les Paul. At just 8.07 lbs, it's also one of the lightest Les Pauls I've owned!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top is seriously impressive. Beautifully defined flame runs across nearly the entire body, with tighter ripples around the cherry-red edges and broad, almost three-dimensional figuring through the golden amber center. The color is incredibly vibrant, and the flame changes character as the light moves across it. The photos capture quite a bit, but this is one of those tops that's even more impressive in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGibson's redesigned Standards from this period came with some really worthwhile upgrades, including a chambered mahogany body, asymmetrical neck profile, locking Grover tuners, locking Neutrik output jack, and TonePros bridge and tailpiece. There's also the distinctive transparent electronics cover on the back. All of those features remain factory original on this example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd the playability is just phenomenal.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e The neck feels fast and slim, measuring 20.8 mm at the first fret and 24.9 mm at the 12th. It's had a recent setup, with beautifully low action, level frets, and buttery-smooth bends. Intonation is spot on, and the entire fretboard feels effortless to navigate. It's genuinely one of those Les Pauls that's difficult to put down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original Burstbucker Pro humbuckers are still installed, with the factory electronics and controls functioning exactly as they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition is \u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, especially impressive for a 2009 guitar. The top, neck, frets, and fretboard are exceptionally clean. There are just a couple of small dings on the back, with no significant wear elsewhere. No finish checking, cracks, headstock breaks, or repairs. The only other thing worth mentioning is that the original plastic speed knobs have some cracking. I'm including a fresh set of top hat knobs if you'd prefer to replace them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt weighs \u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8.07 lbs on my scale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e and comes with its original Gibson USA hardshell case and complete case candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe photos shown are real photographs of this exact guitar.
