This stunning Gibson Les Paul High Performance has been built with the player in mind.

This Les Paul HP is finished in stunning ‘Seafoam Fade’, and literally glows with the look of waves lapping at a tropical shoreline. The chrome hardware is gleaming and untarnished. 

The Burstbucker pickups sound great in all three positions and have all the classic humbucker chunk you’d hope for in a Les Paul plus the traditional bark and bite in the bridge. This guitar has been well set up and plays very clean all the way up the neck. 

This guitar was bought new in Sydney in 2019. The current owner simply has other priorities, so this guitar is being offered a new life. It presents as new. It has not been played at all. It still smells new, as does the case. 

Comes with its original Gibson Custom case in excellent condition.
