Gibson Les Paul Studio

You are bidding on my BRAND NEW and DEAD MINT Gibson Les Paul Studio 50's Tribute Goldtop.  As you probably know, this is a limited edition guitar that Gibson made in a limited run.  Of those, the goldtop is the hardest to find and most sought after.   This one was finished at the Gibson factory on October 05, 2010 (19 days prior to this posting).

This guitar has literally been out of the box for testing and pictures ONLY.  Unpacked it, tuned the strings up, tested that everything is in perfect working condition, took pictures, tuned the strings back down, and back into the case/box it went.  How does it sound?  ABSOLUTELY STELLAR!  Absolutely love them P-90s!

Comes with the original Gibson soft case (very good quality case, and much better padded than I expected), warranty card, and build sheet with all the guitar's information.  Will come shipped in the original Gibson box, with the original Gibson packing materials.

For additional technical details, please visit the Gibson LP Studio 50's Tribute Site

NOTE:  This guitar is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

A Les Paul for the People, Honoring the Decade of Rock and Roll
The Les Paul Studio 50s Tributes’ Worn Gold Top, Worn Honey Burst, Worn Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Worn Ebony, and Worn White finishes nail the appearance of five popular “Standard” and “Custom” finishes from the era, while its unbound body and neck and chambered mahogany body with carved maple top keep it in line with the simplicity that thousands of Les Paul Studio players already cherish. 
A Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece and Kluson-style tuners keep it all rock-solid and resonant, while point-to-point wired “Orange Drop” tone caps help to translate that raw, gnarly P-90 tone in true 50s style. All guitars come protected in a black Gibson gigbag and include a Gibson owner’s manual. Check one out today at your authorized Gibson dealer, and get a chunk of that fat 50s mojo in your hands.
Body and Finish
A solid, carved maple top and chambered mahogany body give the Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute the same tonewood combination that has been helping Les Pauls rock for nearly 50 years. Five authentic 50s-style finishes—Worn Gold Top, Worn Honey Burst, Worn Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Worn Ebony or Worn White—present a guitar with the look of a well played original, while the instrument’s unbound body and neck keep it in line with the popular Les Paul Studio line. 
Pickups and Electronics
To give it the vintage look and meaty, raw sound of an original 50s Les Paul, the Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute carries two Gibson USA P-90 pickups, which are wired through the traditional four-knob Les Paul control array, with a three-way Switchcraft toggle selector and quality “Orange Drop” tone capacitors on the tone pots.
Neck and Headstock
The Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute is crafted with a solid quarter-sawn mahogany neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and a headstock set at the traditional 17-degree angle for superior transference of vibrational energy—all ingredients of the classic Les Paul Standard of the 1950s.
Hardware
Designed to offer the rock solid dependability that today’s musicians demand, while reflecting the look of classic hardware from the mid 50s, the Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute’s Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbard tailpiece, and Kluson-style tuners present a best-of-both-worlds hardware package.
