Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard Candy Apple Red Over Goldtop

Description

So, I’ve had this guitar for a few years now and honestly, it’s one of those things that just feels right in your hands. It’s a Custom Shop Les Paul Standard — one of only 25 ever made — and it’s basically a faithful copy of Jimmy Page’s #3, which was originally a Goldtop refinished in Candy Apple Red with some custom touches.

It’s in great shape overall. I had a UV check done and there’s no cracking or damage — just a couple of tiny dings and some light wear along the headstock edge, which you’d expect from a guitar that’s been played and cared for. All the hardware and electronics are original factory stuff. I had it professionally set up recently, so the neck relief is spot on at 0.12mm, intonation’s perfect, and the truss rod works smoothly. It plays really well — low action, easy to bend, and the strings feel fresh.

What’s included: the original Gibson Custom Shop case, a certificate of authenticity, and all the paperwork.

I’ve kept it stored properly and only played it occasionally, so it’s still in excellent condition. I live in dulas, Moelfre, so if you're around, feel free to pop by — I’m happy to show it. If you're interested, I’ll take part exchanges too, and I’ll buy guitars for cash at fair prices. Shipping’s covered, both UK and international, and I’ve got full insurance.

Just a quick note — photos can vary slightly due to lighting, so don’t expect the exact shade in real life. But if you’ve ever seen a Candy Apple Red Les Paul, you’ll know what I mean.
